The celebratory energy could literally be felt inside the New York Liberty’s arena, with less than a minute separating them from a decisive win over the Dallas Wings, a team they would see once more in less than 48 hours. As it turned out, “less than a minute” was all the time Jaylyn Sherrod needed to provide both something else worth cheering for, and a milestone sequence. The latest in New York’s long line of undrafted talents, Sherrod dribbles through Dallas’ defensive maze, ultimately springing free with a pick-and-roll to set up a smooth gather through traffic and her WNBA career’s first points. Already a fan favorite through toughness and ambition, Sherrod put her 95 seconds of playing time to effective use, recording two points on one-of-one shooting in the win on August 20, 2024. The positive showing helped Sherrod, on a seven-day hardship deal at the time, ink a rest-of-the-season contract just four days later. · Aug 20, 2024
