Breanna Stewart Returns to New York Liberty After Ankle Injury

• Breanna Stewart returns after a month of absence
• The Liberty team suffered losses without Stewart
• Sabrina Ionescu also returns to play

Breanna Stewart returns to the New York Liberty roster after a month-long absence due to an ankle injury. She missed 13 games due to a right ankle sprain but is ready to play on Monday against the Connecticut Sun.

This 30-year-old forward, who is a seven-time WNBA All-Star, last played on July 26, when she left the game against the Los Angeles Sparks. After her injury, the team only managed to secure 5 wins in 13 games, which caused a drop in the standings to fifth place with a record of 22-15.

Stewart averages 18.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. Her return is crucial for a team that has struggled with roster depth after two consecutive losses.

It is also expected that Sabrina Ionescu, who missed the game against Atlanta, will also be back on the court on Monday. It remains to be seen how the team will cope with the absence of other players due to injuries.

New York started the season with 9 wins, but faced difficulties when injuries began to affect the roster. Stewart confirmed her readiness to return to play, which could significantly boost the team’s performance.
