“Being in my hometown of Brooklyn makes it even more amazing, and I can’t wait to play my part in helping the community.”
Prince’s move to the front office comes after playing 14 seasons in the WNBA, including five seasons with the Liberty (2015-2018, 2023).
The franchise hopes the Brooklyn native can further the team’s outreach efforts, youth basketball programming and social responsibility presence throughout New York City.
“We know Piph will be a phenomenal addition to our front office between her decorated playing experience, basketball IQ, and league wide knowledge,” general manager Jonathan Kolb said in a press release . “Piph’s legendary career is sewn within Brooklyn’s basketball fabric, and as a former Liberty player, this next step in her basketball journey is truly special.”
