X-Ray Results Are In For WNBA Star Breanna Stewart
X-Ray Results Are In For WNBA Star Breanna Stewart originally appeared on The Spun.
Saturday's game was worrisome for the New York Liberty and their fans after seven-time All-Star Breanna Stewart exited with what appeared to a lower leg injury in the first quarter of the team's 101-99 loss to the LA Sparks.
It wasn't clear in the moment what caused to the two-time MVP to be in pain but whatever it was it was enough for Stewart to motion towards the bench to get her out of the game and she never returned.
The Liberty just got Jonquel Jones back so having Stewie out of the lineup would be a massive loss for the reigning WNBA champs.
Stewart has barely missed any time since coming to Brooklyn. But she did tear her Achilles back in 2019 before having to undergo a touch-up operation a few seasons later.
The New York Post's Madeline Kenney had a positive update on Sunday though, with the result of Stewart's recent X-rays:
"Breanna Stewart had imaging done on her right leg which showed she avoided significant injury after exiting last night's game," Kenney reported. "She'll be with the Liberty on this four-game road trip, but the team plans to give her time to fully recover."
Hopefully Breanna is able to make a full and quick recovery and doesn't miss too much time with a grueling 12-game stretch coming up.
The Liberty finish out the month with games against Dallas Wings and Minnesota Lynx on Monday and Wednesday after posting an Eastern Conference leading 17-7 record to this point.X-Ray Results Are In For WNBA Star Breanna Stewart first appeared on The Spun on Jul 27, 2025
