When it was announced in February that WNBA superstar Breanna Stewart would be playing in the Barclays Center, the entirety of the women’s basketball world went into shock. As a career 20 point-per-game scorer with the Seattle Storm, Stewart is one of the more elite in the business.
Along with guard Sabrina Ionescu, who was at the helm of a New York Liberty squad that was finally able to host a home playoff game last season, Stewart serves as a near-perfect counterpart to Ionescu. So far, it’s been good. The Liberty currently stand at second in the Eastern Conference with a 7-3 record.
