New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart intends to play in Game 2 of the team's first-round WNBA playoff series against the Phoenix Mercury. The two-time MVP suffered a knee injury in the 76-69 Game 1 victory, raising doubt over her status for Wednesday's contest. "With injury, there's probably always a chance, but I'm willing to take that because I want to, I want to be out with my team," she told reporters. Phoenix pushed New York to the brink, holding the reigning WNBA champions to 21 points in the second half and forcing overtime. Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in Game 7 of the NBA Finals as he was battling through a calf strain.
