Report: Breanna Stewart Has Minor Surgery on Knee Injury; To Be Ready for WNBA Season

Breanna Stewart underwent successful minor surgery on her right knee and will be ready in time for training camp, per ESPN's Alexa Philippou.

Training camp begins on April 27. Stewart and the New York Liberty are looking to defend the franchise's first-ever WNBA title.

Stewart's Unrivaled season ended on Monday when her team, Mist Basketball Club, fell to the first-place Lunar Owls. Mist needed a win to qualify for the playoffs but missed the last spot on a tiebreaker with Vinyl.

On Thursday, Stewart posted a picture of herself in a hospital bed, but she appeared in good spirits and posted a hopeful caption.

"Small thing to a giant 🏁

"might or might not retire the leg sleeve but definitely getting rid of all that tape, iykyk.

"S/o to the gang getting me through unrivaled and Dr. Weber for getting me right🔪

"See you in the W😉."

So that's good news for Stewart, a two-time WNBA MVP and six-time All-Star who averaged 20.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season.

The Liberty open their title regular season on Saturday, May 17 when they welcome the Las Vegas Aces into town.
