Breanna Stewart’s Injury History
The four-time NCAA champion has been a very consistent player in the WNBA. Yet the star faced some setbacks, keeping her away from the action for a considerable time. One significant Achilles injury forced her to miss the 2019 season. She sustained the injury playing in the EuroLeague final.
Three seasons later, the star underwent a “minor repair and reinforcement of the Achilles tendon” in her left leg, and during the 2025 offseason, she had surgery on her right meniscus.
While there were minor knocks in her career, the player recovered from them in time and played a crucial role in her team’s success. She remained one of the league’s top players, averaging 19 points, 6.8 rebounds, four assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game for the Liberty. Hence, after a healthy career, a mid-season break caused concerns, and fans hope to get her back.
