On the first day that teams are now allowed to sign players, the star free agent tweeted a video with a Statue of Liberty emoji to confirm the move and bring an end to what had been a cryptic offseason saga regarding her plans.

Stewart, 28, made the decision to return to her home state after the former MVP recently narrowed her choices down to New York or a return to the Storm, where she’s spent her first six WNBA seasons.
