Two-time WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart successfully underwent a minor scope on her right meniscus Thursday, New York Liberty sources told ESPN.
Sources said the six-time All-Star and three-time Olympian will be back on court for training camp, which begins April 27.
“might or might not retire the leg sleeve but definitely getting rid of all that tape, iykyk,” Stewart said in an Instagram post with a picture showing that she was undergoing a procedure.
“S/o to the gang getting me through unrivaled and Dr. Weber for getting me right,” the post read.
Stewart is coming off leading the Liberty to a franchise-first title this past fall. She has won two other championships during her WNBA career with the Seattle Storm.
She just finished up playing in the inaugural season of Unrivaled, a 3-on-3 league that she co-founded with fellow former UConn star Napheesa Collier. Stewart was sixth in the league in scoring with 19.1 points per game, while also averaging 11.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists, for the Mist, who missed the playoffs with a 5-9 record. She appeared in all 14 contests for the squad.
Stewart has been mostly healthy in recent years, particularly since coming back from a right Achilles tear that kept her out of the 2019 WNBA season. She also had a minor left Achilles procedure at the end of the 2021 campaign.
The Liberty host the Las Vegas Aces on May 17 to open the 2025 campaign.
