Kennedy Burke certainly earned her ring as a member of the New York Liberty’s historic run to their first-ever WNBA championship in Downtown Brooklyn.

Now, the reserve guard/forward will be back at Barclays Center for an opportunity to pick up another hunk of gaudy jewelry in 2025.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome back Kennedy Burke,” said Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb Saturday after announcing that New York had re-signed the six-year veteran.

Though terms of the deal were not disclosed, as per team policy, Burke reportedly received a one-year pact at just under $79,000, the veteran minimum.

She’ll be worth every penny and more to a Liberty squad that finally grabbed Title I last year thanks to her steady contributions off the bench.

Burke, who only made three starts in 38 regular-season appearances in 2024, averaged 3.4 points and 1.5 rebounds on 40.9% (54-for-132) shooting.

“KB is a vital piece to our roster and culture alike – and building off her success in 2024 – she’s poised to take on a larger role this year and further showcase her versality,” Kolb added.

New York’s GM also knows that he lost future Hall of Fame point guard Courtney Vandersloot to free agency over the weekend after she inked a one-year deal to return to Chicago.

That made Burke’s return a no-brainer, especially after the Liberty lost fan favorite Kayle Thornton to Golden State in the expansion draft.

Vandersloot, who was relegated to coming off the bench during the postseason after Leonie Fiebich emerged as a deadeye sharpshooter playing alongside Sabrina Ionescu, spent her first 12 seasons with the Sky.

She remained an integral part of the Liberty’s postseason quest the past two seasons, helping them to the Finals in 2023 before last season’s breakthrough.

Vandersloot also helped Chicago grab its first title in 2021 and will now be out to challenge the Liberty in their repeat quest.

“Chicago is where it all started for me — it’s home, it’s family, and it’s a point guard’s dream,” Vandersloot said in a statement.

“The city, the fans, and the culture here have helped to shape the person I am today. I’m eager to embrace this next chapter, take on the challenge of leading and learning from a really talented young team, and bring my experience back to the place that means so much to me.”

As reigning champs for the first time, the Liberty will receive their championship rings at Barclays Center on May 17, when they host Las Vegas.

Thornton will get her ring when Golden State visits on May 27 and Vandersloot will have to wait until Chicago comes to New York on June 10.

With this week’s NBA trade deadline looming, the Brooklyn Nets, who have already made a pair of significant swaps, will be more focused on completing their second three-game winning streak of the season when they host the Houston Rockets at Barclays Center Tuesday.

Having dealt off veteran point guard Dennis Schröder to Golden State and power forward Dorian Finney-Smith to the Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn (16-33) still has plenty of players other teams covet, including leading scorer Cam Johnson and high-flying center Nic Claxton.

None of the trade rumors surrounding those players have affected how the Nets have played of late.

After ending a season-high seven-game losing streak with last Wednesday’s blowout win in Charlotte, Brooklyn went into Houston Saturday and posted a 110-98 victory behind 21 points from Ziaire Williams.

It was the first time the Nets posted consecutive wins since a season-high three-game winning streak from Nov. 24-27.

That run put them at 9-10 for the season, but they’ve only gone 7-23 since, falling into a seller’s position ahead of Thursday’s deadline as general manager Sean Marks continues to pile up future draft picks for veteran talent.

The Nets, who have 31 picks over the next seven years, were reportedly interested in acquiring high-scoring Sacramento guard De’Aaron Fox, a player Fernandez worked with as an assistant with the Kings.

But Fox went to San Antonio in a three-team deal Monday afternoon.

D’Angelo Russell, who came here in the trade that sent Finney-Smith to the Lakers, had 18 points in Saturday’s win in Houston as the Nets placed five starters in double figures in scoring.

“The focus was there, the playing hard was there, and that’s how you win games in this league. So, credit to the guys and proud of them,” said Nets coach Jordi Fernández.

Tip-off at Barclays for the finale of the home-and-home with the Rockets is slated for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

NOTHING BUT NET: The Nets’ injury woes continue despite their recent run of success. Ben Simmons, who only managed two points in 24 minutes off the bench in Houston, will sit out Tuesday’s rematch as he continues to nurse a nagging back injury. Also, Johnson (ankle) remains sidelined since Jan. 21. Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Noah Clowney (ankle) aren’t due back until after the All-Star break later this month. Thomas had a scan on his hamstring last week in New York before the decision came down to keep him for another few weeks. The Nets’ top scorer at the time of his injury back on Nov. 24 has only played twice since. … After hosting the Rockets on Tuesday, the Nets will continue their season-high six-game homestand Wednesday vs. Washington.
