Breanna Stewart and the New York Liberty kick-off the WNBA season against the Washington Mystics on Tuesday.
The WNBA season kicks off with four games Tuesday starting with the reigning MVP leading New York Liberty on the road against the Washington Mystics. Last season New York fell just short in the WNBA Finals, losing in 3-1 to the Las Vegas Aces. This season starts a new journey for a star-studded New York team led by Stewart, Sabrina Ionescu, Jonquel Jones and Courtney Vandersloot, who have a combined 16 All-Star appearances, three MVP trophies and three WNBA Championships on the mantle. New York is as excited as it has been in decades for basketball because it is the favorites in the Eastern Conference this year.

Washington starts the season without former MVP Elena Delle Donne, who is taking time away from the game this season for her overall health, opening opportunities for rookie Aaliyah Edwards and young players like Shakira Austin, Emily Engstler, Jade Melbourne and DiDi Richards.
Last season the quartet of Stewart, Ionescu, Jones and Vandersloot had ups and downs while trying to build momentum and a rhythm. Their talent was enough to get to the finals, but not enough to overcome a Las Vegas team that has been together for years. Now with a year of experience and a run to the finals, New York might be primed to win the franchise’s first WNBA Championship.
Stewart is coming off a career-best season where she averaged 23.0 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks per game as an All-Star Captain, First Team All-WNBA and First Team All-Defense leading to her second MVP.
