NEW YORK — Breanna Stewart is feeling better after suffering a bone bruise in her right knee late last month and hopes to be back by the end of the month.
The two-time WNBA MVP hurt her knee in the Liberty's 101-99 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks on July 26 and talked before New York's game against Minnesota on Sunday.

Stewart has been rehabbing the injury and Liberty coach Sandy Brondello said she thought her star forward could be back by the end of August.
“I feel like this is the hardest part for me because I’ve been out.
