Liberty Reveal Breanna Stewart Injury Update
Digest more
Breanna Stewart blends dominance on the court with a rich personal story — a decorated champion, devoted partner and driving force behind the New York Liberty’s rise to WNBA glory. Check all about her.
In case that needed underscoring, Reeve added a final jab when asked about Liberty newcomer Emma Meesseman — the top free agent in the world who chose New York over Minnesota last week. Meesseman won’t be available Wednesday, as she’s working to secure her work visa, but Reeve wanted to make one thing clear:
Stewart exited in the first quarter of Saturday’s loss with a leg injury and Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello declined to give a timeline for her return before Monday’s road matchup against the Dallas Wings. “No, not at this stage,” Brondello said when asked if there’s a timeline for Stewart’s return.
The injury designation of “rest” is being used more than ever this WNBA season, which includes 44 regular-season matches, the league’s most games to date.
The popularity of the younger players' cards can be explained in part by the fact that players like Stewart entered the league before card manufacturers started working closely with the WNBA. Howarth said Panini will continue to invest in this area, and he is looking forward to seeing what the future holds.
