SEATTLE -- When Breanna Stewart returns to Climate Pledge Arena with the New York Liberty on Tuesday night (9 ET, ESPN2/ESPN App), it will mark an unprecedented moment in Seattle Storm history. In the Storm's 24 years of existence, never before has a superstar come back after leaving via free agency.
Sure, starters such as Alysha Clark, Natasha Howard, Sheri Sam and Tanisha Wright from championship teams have signed elsewhere. Seattle also welcomed back WNBA superstars who spent part of the latter stages of their careers with the Storm, including Katie Smith and Sheryl Swoopes.
