The WNBA has named its All-Defensive teams, and the Liberty’s Breanna Stewart is named to second team. This makes an All-Defensive nod for the sixth straight season (including all three years in New York) and seventh overall in her career. Another stellar defensive season for Stewie. @winsidr.com

This was an amazing episode!

Thank you @mylesehrlich.bsky.social for the well-researched questions, and allowing Natasha #Cloud9 the space to give answers, and elaborate context.

It's so important that interviews can provide space and show deeper perspectives of the people being interviewed.

Breanna Stewart was asked by @benpickman.bsky.social if the staff warned about re-injury: “With injury, there's probably always a chance, but I'm willing to take that because I want to, I want to be out with my team. And they told me that, structurally, everything looks okay. So my plan is to go.”

Breanna Stewart tells media that she sprained her MCL, but she went through shootaround this morning. Barring something happening between now and gametime, she wants to play today. Stewie says that she’s a 3/10 on the pain scale.

Breanna Stewart has been designated QUESTIONABLE (L. Knee) for Wednesday’s game 2 against Phoenix. The Liberty lead the best-of-three series 1-0, following Sunday’s overtime win. @winsidr.com

Sandy Brondello was somewhat coy with Breanna Stewart’s injury severity. “It’s going to be a gametime decision,” she said. She did say there is no “serious thing,” but “obviously she hurt her knee.” @winsidr.com

Myles @mylesehrlich.bsky.social · 22d

Breanna Stewart is in attendance at Liberty practice today, but she is not participating. Standing to the side watching in warmups, though, so possibly some individual work. @winsidr.com
