Just when the New York Liberty were starting to look like defending champs again… something scary happened. New York had dropped six of their last nine not too long ago, but they bounced back hard, winning five straight and looking more and more like the squad we saw dominate when the season began. A big part of that turnaround was finally getting healthy – Jonquel Jones was back, and they were only missing Nyara Sabally. But right when it felt like everything was clicking… there might be another big blow.
It all happened midway through the first quarter. Breanna Stewart had only been on the floor for about three minutes when she suddenly pulled up on defense. No contact, no collision – just an awkward stop and a clear grimace. The Liberty quickly called a timeout, and she walked straight up the tunnel with trainer Terri Acosta.
A few moments earlier, she had come up a bit slow after Kelsey Plum hit a three from the corner. It looked like she was trying to shake something off, but whatever it was didn’t go away. Kennedy Burke subbed in for her after the timeout. After a few minutes later announcers confirmed Stewie is officially ruled out with a reported lower leg injury. Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious.
