The WNBA Liberty are "remaining under the control" of MSG Exec Chair & CEO James Dolan for now after being "put up for sale in November," according to Doug Feinberg of the AP. MSG President Andrew Lustgarten said, "While we have had numerous interested parties, we are going to continue to operate the team until we identify the right new owner to steward this valuable New York franchise. We will have more to share soon." Sources said that the Liberty "plan to move most of their games out of the Garden this season and into the suburban Westchester County Center." Only a few Liberty games "would be held at the Garden." The rest "would be at the Westchester arena," the home of the Knicks' G League affiliate. The Liberty "still need Westchester County approval to play" at the 5,000-seat venue (AP, 2/6).
