The Liberty avoided the worst-case scenario with Breanna Stewart’s injury, but that won’t make this next stretch without her any less difficult. She underwent imaging on her lower right leg after leaving early in the first quarter Saturday, and results showed that she avoided a significant injury, sources told The Post’s Madeline Kenney.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart left the team’s 101-99 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday night after 3 minutes with a lower leg injury. Stewart had three points and a rebound before she left. Stewart seemed to injure the leg while running up the court. She went to the locker room and never came back to the bench.

Rickea Jackson's mid-season resurgence hit a new high on Saturday night when she flipped in an absurd buzzer beater to ensure the Los Angeles Sparks stunned the reigning champion New York Liberty, 101-99.
