Marine Johannès is back where she always planned to be.

The Liberty fan favorite has returned for the fourth season of what has been an on-again, off-again tenure with the team.

After emerging as a significant, highly GIF-able contributor as the Liberty matured into a Finals team in 2023, Johannès sat out the 2024 WNBA season to focus on playing for host France in the Olympics.

Then the offseason progressed, and for months, the 30-year-old combo guard remained unsigned. It wasn’t until March 21, after Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb had completed a trade for guard <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/28/sports/natasha-cloud-ready-to-start-dream-campaign-with-liberty-motivated-by-s-ty-offseason/">Natasha Cloud</a>, that the team announced Johannès had re-signed.
