Storm forward Breanna Stewart will not take the floor when Seattle faces the Mercury in the second round of the 2021 WNBA Playoffs on Sunday, the team announced.
Stewart missed the Storm's final two regular season games—against Los Angeles and Phoenix—after injuring her foot in a 105–71 victory against the Mystics on Sept. 7.
Seattle went 1–1 in those final two games, including a 94–85 win against Phoenix on Sept. 17. After the Mercury won a thriller over New York in the first round of the WNBA playoffs, the Storm face Phoenix again for the second time in nine days.
