Liberty star Stewart returns from bone bruise

The two-time WNBA MVP is slated to return after being sidelined for the last month with a bone bruise.

Reinforcements are coming for the New York Liberty.

Two-time WNBA MVP Breanna Stewart will return for the Liberty on Monday against the visiting Connecticut Sun after missing 13 games with a bone bruise in her right knee.

Sabrina Ionescu, New York's leading scorer at 19.0 points per game, will also play against the Sun after sitting out Saturday's 78-62 loss to the Atlanta Dream with a foot injury.

Stewart has been sidelined since July 26, when she left just a few minutes into a 101-99 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks with the injury.

The defending champion Liberty proceeded to lose their next three games and went 5-8 without Stewart to fall to fifth in the WNBA with a 22-15 record.

Stewart, a seven-time All-Star, is averaging 18.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists. She also leads New York with averages of 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks.

The Liberty, who started the season 9-0 and were 17-6 prior to Stewart's injury, have seven games remaining before the playoffs.
