New York Liberty's Breanna Stewart Misses Game With Lower Leg Injury

News summary

New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart suffered a lower leg injury early in the team's recent loss to the Los Angeles Sparks but avoided a significant injury, according to imaging reports. Stewart exited less than four minutes into the game and did not return, with the exact nature and timeline for her return still unclear, as confirmed by coach Sandy Brondello. Despite the setback, Stewart is expected to travel with the Liberty on their upcoming four-game road trip, with a cautious recovery approach to ensure her availability for the season's stretch run. The Liberty, dealing with multiple injuries including Jonquel Jones and Leonie Fiebich, remain strong contenders with a 17-7 record, maintaining their position as Eastern Conference leaders and championship favorites. Stewart has been pivotal this season, averaging 19 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4 assists, and recently participated in her seventh All-Star Game. The team continues to manage injuries carefully as they pursue another WNBA title.
