Reports – Liberty’s Stewart’s MRI shows no major injury to leg


NEW YORK — New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart avoided a significant injury when she hurt her right leg in a game Saturday night, according to multiple reports.

The All-Star forward had imaging done, and nothing major turned up, according to the reports, adding that Stewart will travel with the team on its four-game road trip that begins in Dallas on Monday night. Stewart was listed as out for the game vs. the Wings on the WNBA injury report.

Stewart left nearly 3½ minutes into the Liberty’s 101-99 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. She had three points and a rebound. Stewart seemed to injure the leg while running up the court. She went to the locker room and never returned to the bench.

“No update, hopefully she’ll be OK,” coach Sandy Brondello said after the Liberty’s five-game winning streak was snapped.

New York was playing the second half of a back-to-back. Stewart had a quiet scoring game in Friday’s win over Phoenix, with just six points. She did have eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals.

Stewart came into Saturday’s game averaging 19 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists on the season to help New York (17-7) build the second-best record in the league.

The two-time WNBA MVP hadn’t missed a game yet this season. After playing much of July at home, New York will be on the road for five of its next six games.

New York also had two other injuries; Kennedy Burke had some cramps and Leonie Fiebich has been dealing with a hand injury she suffered against Phoenix.

“She’s tough and resilient, she pushed through it,” Brondello said.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
