Liberty's Breanna Stewart named WNBA MVP for 2023 season

BROOKLYN, N.Y. -- In her first season with the New York Liberty, Breanna Stewart has been named the 2023 WNBA MVP in the closest-three way race in league history, it was announced Tuesday.

Stewart and runner-up Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun were separated by seven points, the second-smallest margin between the winner and runner-up in the award's history. The 13 points separating Stewart and the Las Vegas Aces' A'ja Wilson, who was third, mark the narrowest margin between the top three MVP vote-getters in league history.
