Liberty's Breanna Stewart undergoes knee surgery, set to return for training camp
Liberty star and two-time WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart went under the knife on Thursday, but her availability for the upcoming season is not in doubt.
According to multiple reports, Stewart underwent a minor scope on her right meniscus and is expected to be back for training camp, which begins April 27.
The eight-year veteran posted a picture of herself in the hospital Thursday on her Instagram, in good spirits.
"might or might not retire the leg sleeve but definitely getting rid of all that tape, iykyk," Stewart's post read. "S/o to the gang getting me through unrivaled and Dr. Weber for getting me right."
After leading the Liberty to their first WNBA championship this past fall, Stewart played in the inaugural season of Unrivaled, the 3-on-3 league she co-founded with WNBA star Naphessa Collier.
Stewart averaged 19.1 points, 11 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game for the Mist, who missed the playoffs after a 5-9 record.
Those numbers are comparable to her 2024 season with the Liberty, in which she averaged 20.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 38 games. As a six-time All-Star, she was also named first-team All-WNBA and finished third in MVP voting after taking home the award with New York in 2023.
The Liberty will look to defend their title when the 2025 regular season begins at home on May 17 against the Las Vegas Aces.
