Breanna Stewart says she's staying with Liberty: 'Good luck to everybody else in free agency, but I'm not a part of that'
The 3-time WNBA champion and 2-time league MVP could have left New York in free agency this offseason.
Breanna Stewart will be sticking with the New York Liberty, the three-time WNBA champion revealed on her podcast Wednesday. Speaking with co-host Myles Turner of the Milwaukee Bucks, Stewart said that while she is an unrestricted free agent this off-season, she’s not leaving town. “I’m gonna just set the record straight here — I will be staying in New York,” Stewart said on “ Game Recognize Game w/Stewie & Myles .
” “ I’m not planning on taking any free agency meetings even though I am an unrestricted free agent. My family is set up here. We’re solid here.
I’m going to be back in New York and that’s all there is to it. “Good luck to everybody else in free agency, but I’m not a part of that. ” While Stewart did not reveal contract details and the Liberty have yet to officially make an announcement, it should result in a big payday.
With most WNBA veterans having signed deals that ran through the 2025 season, ahead of the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement, the 31-year-old Stewart is in line to benefit from the salary cap ceiling jumping from $1. 5 million per team to $7 million, via the new agreement . Supermax contracts will also rise from around $250,000 to $1.
