MINNEAPOLIS — Breanna Stewart’s wife, Marta Xargay Casademont, reported to the police and the WNBA a threatening and homophobic email she received after Game 1 of the WNBA Finals, the New York Liberty star said at practice Tuesday.
The email was sent directly to Xargay’s email account, which Stewart said was “attached” to her Instagram profile. The writer of the email reportedly hoped both would die after the Liberty forward missed a free throw to potentially win Game 1 and an open layup to tie it in the last second of overtime, as first reported by the New York Post.
