New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart will play for Fenerbah\u00e7e Opet in April ahead of the EuroLeague Women Final Six, the team announced Monday.<\/p>\n
The announcement has sparked concerns from WNBA fans about her potential availability to start training camp. The EuroLeague Women Final Six is scheduled from April 15-19. WNBA training camps opened for the 2025 season on April 27, which would give Stewart time to get back prior to reporting \u2014 should the league keep a similar schedule.<\/p>\n

Despite the CBA negotiations<\/a> still ongoing, Stewart said she was encouraged by the recent progress on the Game Recognizes Game with Stewie and Myles<\/a> show.<\/p>\n Stewart will return to Fenerbah\u00e7e after playing for Opet in the 2022-2023 season. Stewart won the Turkish League title and was named Euroleague Final Four MVP. She also led Opet to its first EuroLeague Women’s championship after a 35-point performance over \u00c7ukurova Mersin. Stewart has also played for the UMMC Ekaterinburg, Dynamo Kursk and the Shanghai Swordfish during her time overseas.<\/p>\n Last season, Stewart averaged 18.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists for the Liberty.
