When the Liberty went out and brought Stewart in before the 2023 season, it was a clear win-now move. New York wanted a championship and felt that Stewart could be the missing piece.
Throughout the course of the last two years, Stewart has proven them right.
During the 2024 WNBA season, Stewart played in 38 games, averaging 20.4 points per game to go along with 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.
