Marquesha Davis to Begin Rookie Campaign with the WNBA’s New York Liberty
5/14/2024 | Women's Basketball
NEW YORK – After becoming Ole Miss women's basketball's fifth first round WNBA Draft pick following being selected 11th overall to the New York Liberty, Marquesha Davis prepares for her rookie campaign as the WNBA season tips off on Tuesday.
Davis becomes the fifth Rebel to hit the court in WNBA action, and the second under McPhee-McCuin. Piecing together a dazzling senior season, Davis tallied 25 games in double-figure scoring and led Ole Miss with an average of 14.6 points per game. At the SEC Tournament, Davis exploded for a career-best 33 points against Florida and surpassed the 1,000 career-point mark to become the 36th player in school history to achieve the feat.
Joining one of the league's most praised franchises, the Liberty are coming off an appearance in the 2023 WNBA Finals and three consecutive playoff appearances. Davis looks to provide assistance off the bench for a loaded group of all-stars including, Breanna Stewart, Courtney Vandersloot and Sabrina Ionescu.
The Liberty tip off the 2024 WNBA season on the road against the Washington Mystics tonight at 6:00 p.m. CT and can be streamed through the WNBA League Pass.
