DALLAS — About 2 ½ hours before the Liberty played the Wings on Monday, another key player was added to the defending champions injury report.&nbsp;

Kennedy Burke joined Breanna Stewart (<a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/27/sports/liberty-avoid-worst-case-scenario-with-breanna-stewart-injury-update/">right leg</a>) and Nyara Sabally (rest) in being listed as “out” for the game.&nbsp;

Burke left Saturday’s loss to the Sparks with lower body cramps. She was sidelined for Monday’s game for “rest,” according to the team’s injury report.&nbsp;

The injury designation of “rest” is being used more than ever this WNBA season, which includes 44 regular-season matches, the league’s most games to date.&nbsp;
