Mandatory Credit: Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images The New York Liberty signed veteran forward Stephanie Talbot on Monday.
The 31-year-old was waived last week by the first-year Golden State Valkyries.
The Mercury selected the 6-foot-2 Australia native in the third round of the 2014 WNBA Draft, but she did not play stateside until the 2017 season, her first of two with Phoenix. She later played with the Minnesota Lynx (2019), Seattle Storm (2021-22) and Los Angeles Sparks (2024).
The Sparks left her unprotected in the expansion draft, and she was selected by the Valkyries.
In 16 games (10 starts) with Golden State, Talbot averaged 3.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 16.8 minutes per game.
In 215 WNBA games (72 starts), she has averages of 4.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists. She is a career 35.2 percent shooter from long range.
She played under current Liberty coach Sandy Brondello when Brondello coached the Mercury as well as with the Australian national team.
