The New York Liberty are awaiting word on star forward Breanna Stewart’s availability for Game 2 of their first-round WNBA playoff matchup against the Phoenix Mercury. Stewart, who suffered a left knee injury late in Game 1, underwent an MRI that showed “relatively clean” results, though swelling and soreness persist. She didn’t practice Tuesday but was present, wearing a knee sleeve, signaling a chance she might suit up. The Liberty’s coaching staff is preparing for both possibilities, emphasizing depth and strategy adjustments. Her presence or absence could substantially shift the dynamic of the series. Fans and analysts will closely monitor pregame updates to see if Stewart can return. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
