WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart signs with the New York Liberty

Stewart, a four-time All-Star and two-time Olympic gold medalist, joins the Liberty after spending the first seven seasons of her career with the Seattle Storm.

The move is a major coup for the Liberty, who have been looking to add a star player to their roster. Stewart is one of the most dominant players in the WNBA, and her addition should make the Liberty a contender for the championship.

Stewart is a 6'4" forward who was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 WNBA Draft. She has averaged 20.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game in her career.

Stewart has been named the WNBA MVP twice, in 2018 and 2020. She has also been named to the All-WNBA First Team four times and the All-WNBA Second Team three times.

Stewart is also a two-time Olympic gold medalist, having helped the United States win gold in 2016 and 2020. She is one of the most decorated players in WNBA history.

The Liberty are coming off a disappointing season in which they finished 12-20 and missed the playoffs. The addition of Stewart should help them improve significantly in 2023.

Stewart is excited to join the Liberty and is looking forward to helping the team win a championship.

"I'm thrilled to be joining the New York Liberty," Stewart said. "I've always admired the Liberty's organization and their commitment to winning. I'm excited to join a team with so much talent and potential. I'm looking forward to helping the Liberty win a championship."

The Liberty are also excited to have Stewart on their roster.

"Breanna Stewart is one of the best players in the world," Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb said. "She's a winner and a leader. We're excited to have her join our team."

The addition of Stewart is a major boost for the Liberty. She is one of the best players in the WNBA, and her addition should make the Liberty a contender for the championship.
