Overview

  • Breanna Stewart, a two-time WNBA MVP and New York Liberty star, underwent a minor knee scope on her right meniscus on March 13, 2025.
  • The procedure was successful, and Stewart is expected to return to the court in time for the Liberty's training camp, which begins on April 27.
  • Stewart shared an Instagram update from the hospital, expressing gratitude to her team and doctor while hinting at retiring her signature leg sleeve.
  • The surgery follows Stewart's offseason participation in Unrivaled, a 3-on-3 basketball league she co-founded, where she experienced a dip in performance compared to her usual dominance.
  • Stewart led the Liberty to their first WNBA championship last season, marking her third career title, and also secured her third Olympic gold medal at the 2024 Paris Games.
