Liberty's Breanna Stewart has mixed feelings about Seattle return
We've got you covered on the Liberty beat Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Madeline Kenney about all things Liberty and WNBA. tRY IT NOW SEATTLE — Liberty star Breanna Stewart always has mixed feelings on her trips to Seattle. This time — her fourth with the Liberty — is no different. Advertisement 'It feels good, always nice when people kind of stop me and just appreciate what I've been able to do here so far,' Stewart told The Post on Saturday after practice. There's plenty of happy memories here. Stewart arrived in the Emerald City as a 21-year-old and first pick of the 2016 WNBA Draft. She immediately was one of the team's best players. Stewart was named Rookie of the Year that season, league MVP only two years later and helped the Storm win two WNBA titles in three years. Advertisement Breanna Stewart has mixed feelings about her return to Seattle. Getty Images But Stewart also is sad about the people she doesn't get to see every day since she signed with the Liberty before the 2023 season. 'This is where I kind of grew up,' she said. 'I grew into my professional career and always has a special place in my heart, for sure.' Still, Stewart never got the full welcome back treatment in any of the Liberty's three trips the past two years. Advertisement The Storm never put together a video of her accomplishments to broadcast on the jumbotron. They never took the time to recognize her in any of her returns. Stewart doesn't think about that much — except when prodded by a reporter. 'Listen, it is what it is,' she said. 'I think that when I first came back here, it was definitely emotional for me and just not being appreciated in front of those fans, that hurt. But that's not my decision. And I continue to kind of be my best and go with my head held high and everything and if that's what the organization wanted to do, then that's on them.' Advertisement Breanna Stewart led the Storm to two WNBA titles in three years. NBAE via Getty Images The Storm didn't designate Stewart as a core player in 2023, allowing her to become an unrestricted free agent. Instead, Seattle selected Jewell Loyd, who, at her request, was traded last offseason. Stewart signed with the Liberty with the promise of bringing a championship to New York. She delivered on that vow last season. Covering the Liberty like never before Sign up for Madeline Kenney's Inside the Liberty, a weekly Sports+ newsletter.

Jonquel Jones expected to miss at least a month in Liberty crusher
We've got you covered on the Liberty beat Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Madeline Kenney about all things Liberty and WNBA. tRY IT NOW SEATTLE — Liberty center Jonquel Jones is expected to be out for at least a month after she re-sprained her right ankle this week, the team announced Saturday. That means Jones could be sidelined until or through WNBA All-Star weekend, which is scheduled for July 18-19. Jones stayed back in New York to undergo more testing while the team traveled to Seattle on Friday. Further examination, including additional imaging, determined Jones avoided long-term injury, the team said. Still, Jones is expected to miss approximately four to six weeks with the ankle injury. New York Liberty center Jonquel Jones (35) drives to the basket as Phoenix Mercury forward Kathryn Westbeld (24) and guard Kitija Laksa (9) defend during the first half at Barclays Center on June 19. John Jones-Imagn Images Jones went down with an ankle injury in the second quarter of Thursday's 89-81 loss at Barclays Center. She exited the game at the 8:35 mark and immediately went to the team's locker room. The 31-year-old was seen exiting the team's locker room in a walking boot after the game. Jones had returned to game action only two days prior after she first sprained her ankle on June 5 against the Mystics. This is obviously a significant loss for the Liberty, who've dropped two of their last three games and are on the precipice of a 10-day road trip, which starts Sunday against the Storm. The Liberty are remarkably better, especially on defense, when Jones is on the court than when she's off. The Liberty have had rebounding issues even when Jones was on the floor. Now, without their best rebounder, there should be even more of an emphasis on the entire group being more aggressive on the boards. Liberty center Jonquel Jones (35) is expected to miss at least a month. Heather Khalifa for the NY Post Expect Nyara Sabally to start with Jones out. Sabally was supposed to be with Leonie Fiebich at EuroBasket right now, but she ultimately decided to stay stateside after having a knee problem that caused her to miss six of the first eight games. In her four games back, Sabally has shown no signs of rust or residual issues. She's averaging seven points and five rebounds while shooting 56.7 percent from the field in six games. The Liberty will also need to rely more on Isabelle Harrison. New York is scheduled to play nine games before the All-Star break.

Mercury's Alyssa Thomas emotionally reacts to Connecticut return
The post Mercury's Alyssa Thomas emotionally reacts to Connecticut return appeared first on ClutchPoints. Although the Phoenix Mercury celebrated Alyssa Thomas's return to Connecticut, it was filled with emotion and appreciation for her former club. Advertisement When Thomas was traded to the Mercury in January, it signaled a new chapter in her career. However, during her introductory press conference, media day, and training camp, her sentiment remained the same. She was ready for a new challenge. Phoenix picked up its ninth win of the season against the Sun, 83-75. Following the game, the storyline zeroed in on Thomas and her feelings about the return. (It was) definitely emotional,' Thomas said postgame. 'I think I gave this organization everything I had, and the fanbase was always behind me, supporting whether we were winning or losing. 'So, just super grateful for them to come out and get their support.' Advertisement Her tenure with the Mercury has been impressive up to this point. She marked her fourth consecutive game with 10+ assists. The roster has been constructed to fit her play style, as they've surrounded her with elite shooters. Statistically speaking, she's having one of the best seasons of her career. Her 9.8 assists with the Mercury are the highest of her career. That's only a part of what she brought from Connecticut to the Valley. Mercury's Alyssa Thomas appreciates the Connecticut fanbase © Eric Canha-Imagn Images For the first handful of season, the Sun were not shining bright. In fact, it was the opposite. A dark cloud went over the franchise. However, once they added Jonquel Jones and DeWanna Bonner, the culture was set. Advertisement That, combined with head coach Stephanie White, along with elite role players had Connecticut rolling. They were consistently one of the top, if not, the top defensive team in the league. That defensive identity is Thomas's bread and butter, and something that has stayed with the franchise. Not to mention, the Sun reached two WNBA Finals trips in 2019 and 2022. Although both ended in losses, Thomas has been close to the mountain top. The individual success, along with her team's success has been apparent. Now, it's about providing her with the right resources, and the Mercury have done just that. Advertisement Elite shooting, playmakers, and positionless basketball have engrained Phoenix fans, and the WNBA. At the end of the day, the former Maryland Terrapins star has the Mercury in legitimate contention. Her skillset is amongst the best in the league. When the trio of Satou Sabally, Kahleah Copper, and Thomas all play consistently, the rest of the league could have a problem stopping the team's death lineup.
