The Liberty stars were taken off the board early by separate captains during Tuesday’s 2025 WNBA All-Star draft on ESPN’s pregame show ahead of the Liberty-Aces matchup. All-Star captain Napheesa Collier picked her former UConn teammate and fellow Unrivaled co-founder, Stewart, with the No. 2 pick.
