NEW YORK — The Liberty’s offseason from heaven just got even better.
On Wednesday afternoon, Breanna Stewart announced that she would be signing with the Liberty. With a video posted to her Twitter account, Stewart broke the news herself, posting a photo of the Empire State Building with the windows lit up to spell “STEWIE”, along with a video of her donning a Liberty shirt, captioned with the Statue of Liberty emoji.
Stewart, the 2018 WNBA MVP, two-time champion and four-time All-Star, spent the first seven years of her career with the Storm. She only played in WNBA games for six of those seasons, though, as she tore her Achilles in 2019 while playing in Russia and missed all of the subsequent WNBA season.
