Stewart registered two points (0-9 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 22 minutes of Sunday's 110-105 loss to the Vipers.

Though Stewart's 2022-23 campaign had a bitter ending, the season as a whole was largely a success for the 23-year-old, who logged a career-high 21.1 points per game in the regular season.
