NEW YORK — The New York Liberty lost star Breanna Stewart to a lower leg injury 3 minutes into their 101-99 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday night.
Stewart had three points and a rebound before she left and went to the locker room. Stewart seemed to injure the leg while running up the court.
Liberty coach Sandy Brondello had no update on Stewart or the specific nature of her injury.
“Hopefully she’ll be OK,” Brondello said.
New York was playing the second half of a back-to-back after rallying to beat Phoenix on Friday night.
Stewart had a quiet scoring game against the Mercury with just six points. She did have 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals.
Stewart came into the game averaging 19 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists on the season to help New York (17-7) to the second-best record in the league.
The two-time WNBA MVP hasn’t missed a game yet this season. After playing much of July at home, New York will be on the road for five of its next six games.
