What happened: New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Dream. She was previously listed as questionable with left knee soreness.
Why it matters: The absence impacts a New York squad fighting for its final postseason positioning. A loss to Atlanta locks the Liberty into the No. 8 seed, while their highest possible finish remains No. 6.
By the numbers: New York is 29-17 this season and dropped an 11-point decision to the Dream on Monday. Atlanta enters the contest at 29-14 riding a four-game winning streak.
What to watch: The Liberty and Dream are scheduled to tip off Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. ET from Barclays Center.
