Cleared to play Fiebich (rest) will make her season debut Wednesday against Phoenix, Annie Costabile of The Athletic reports.

Impact This was the expectation after the Liberty removed her from the injury report Tuesday evening. She's coming off an overseas commitment, so the Liberty may ease her back into action.

MAY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from injury report Fiebich (rest) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game versus Phoenix.

Impact After sitting out Monday's game against Portland for rest purposes, Fiebich is ready to make her season debut Wednesday. Her role will be something to monitor, as Fiebich is coming off an overseas commitment and may not be able to handle a full workload right away.

Out against Portland Fiebich (rest) will not play Monday against the Fire.

Impact The Liberty set Fiebich to active Monday following her overseas commitment, but she's not quite ready to make her 2026 debut. Her next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against the Mercury.

MAY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Set to active Fiebich (overseas commitment) was set to active Monday.

Impact Fiebich was unavailable for Sunday's game, but it sounds like she could be available for the second leg of this back-to-back set. During the 2025 campaign, she averaged 8.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 28.1 minutes per game across 37 regular-season appearances.

Could return Monday Fiebich (overseas commitment) could return as soon as Monday's game against the Fire, Annie Costabile of The Athletic reports.

Impact Per Myles Ehrlich of Winsidr.com, Fiebich was spotted off to the side at Saturday's practice. Although she will not play Sunday after having her contract temporarily suspended May 7 due to an overseas commitment, the 26-year-old forward could return for the second leg of New York's back-to-back set. Her return would leave fewer minutes available for Pauline Astier and Rebekah Gardner.

Remains away from team Fiebich (overseas commitment) has no timetable for a return, per Geoff Magliocchetti of Winsidr.

Impact Fiebich's contract remains temporarily suspended while she fulfills her overseas commitment. Her next chance to rejoin the Liberty comes Sunday against the Wings, which is the first leg of a back-to-back set.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Option exercised by New York The Liberty exercised their option with Fiebich (overseas commitment) on Thursday.

Impact Fiebich has missed the start of the 2026 WNBA regular season while finishing her season with Spanish club Valencia. Her team's finals begin Thursday, and she could rejoin the Liberty at some point next week. It isn't very surprising to see New York exercise Fiebich's option after she averaged 8.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 28.1 minutes per game while serving exclusively as a starter across 37 regular-season appearances last year. The Liberty have been shorthanded to begin the year, and Fiebich could be in the mix for a starting role if Satou Sabally (cyst) is still sidelined once Fiebich returns to action.

MAY 8 • Associated Press

Contract temporarily suspended The Liberty temporarily suspended Fiebich's (overseas commitment) contract Thursday.

Impact This transaction was expected, as Fiebich remains overseas fulfilling her commitment to Valencia, so her exact return date remains a mystery for now, though she could be gone until the end of May. When available, Fiebich is expected to be a key part of the Liberty's rotation, though her usage may dip with Satou Sabally (illness) in town.

Impact Fiebich remains overseas fulfilling her commitment to Valencia, so her exact return date remains a mystery for now. The 26-year-old is coming off a decent 2025 campaign, averaging 8.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks across 28.1 minutes. She also appeared in 37 games, starting in each of them.

Impact Fiebich remains overseas playing for Valencia for the start of WNBA training camp, and she'll join the Liberty once her season has concluded in Spain.

Returns to game Fiebich (abdomen) returned to Game 3 against the Mercury.

Impact After taking a shot to the abdomen to open the game, Fiebich was back in the locker room for several minutes before checking in towards the end of the first quarter.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to locker room Fiebich left Friday's Game 3 against the Mercury after appearing to take a hit to her abdomen, Jackie Powell of TheNextHoops.com reports.

Impact The injury occurred with 8:46 remaining in the first quarter. Fiebich was in obvious pain, and it's unclear if she'll able to return to this contest. The Liberty will likely provide an update shortly.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Disappears in Game 2 Fiebich provided two points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 86-60 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Fiebich was mostly a non-factor at the offensive end, with her only production coming from the charity stripe. She chipped in with the boards, assists and steal, but she also ended up with a dismal minus-19 rating.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 10 in Game 1 victory Fiebich finished with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 39 minutes during Sunday's 76-69 Game 1 overtime win over the Mercury.

Impact Fiebich saw a slightly decreased role during New York's final two regular-season games, but her playing time bounced back to begin the playoffs Sunday. Although she committed four turnovers -- matching her second-highest total of the year -- she was a solid contributor through her scoring and rebounds Sunday, and she'll likely remain heavily involved when the Liberty return home Wednesday and attempt to close out the series.
