The mystery behind Breanna Stewart’s infamous free agency emoji tweet has been solved.
The New York Liberty’s offseason acquisition revealed what each emoji represents while speaking at Thursday’s espnW Summit. Among the emojis are a trophy for her two WNBA titles, a baby emoji for her daughter and a house for the question of her next home. The equal sign, though, was “accidentally placed in the middle,” Stewart said.
She also noted that the plane emoji is meant to signify the WNBA’s need for chartered flights, which became a key point in her free agency discussions. And the wave shows that she wants the league to “make waves.”

While the 28-year-old forward forgot what one emoji (the construction crane) meant, others translated into shout-outs to fellow Virgos and her dog.
“Doesn’t it make sense?” Stewart said after revealing each emoji’s meaning. “Those are all things that we need.”
