Overview

• Breanna Stewart has officially re-signed with the New York Liberty on a one-year, $208,400 guaranteed contract for the 2025 WNBA season.
• The Liberty used their core designation on Stewart for a second consecutive year, ensuring her return but making her ineligible for the designation in the future under the current CBA.
• Stewart underwent minor knee surgery earlier this month but is expected to fully recover in time for training camp starting next month.
• The Liberty retained key players from their 2024 championship team, including Sabrina Ionescu and Jonquel Jones, while adding Natasha Cloud and Isabelle Harrison to bolster their roster.
• Stewart's decision to take less than the supermax salary reflects her commitment to team success, providing financial flexibility for roster building.
