No worse for wear in a WNBA debut that offered twists, turns, and fourth-quarter comebacks, Leonie Fiebich showed the New York Liberty — and the Washington Mystics’ defense — that rapid adjustments on the fly was perfectly within her wheelhouse. Perfectly in sync with her All-Star teammate during a two-player offensive set along the right baseline, Fiebich puts forth the first of many soon-to-come examples, retrieving a pass with her momentum headed to the middle of the 3-point arc. In one swift change of direction, the first-year forward challenges Shatori Walker-Kimbrough’s defensive stance entirely with a powerful drive back towards the baseline before elevating into a 13-foot pull-up jumper. Fiebich’s score helped push the Liberty’s second quarter advantage to five, a bucket that would prove critical during a see-saw battle on May 14, 2024. In playing her part in the come-from-behind victory, Fiebich put together two points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in just 12 minutes of action. · May 14, 2024
