New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart shared her distress over a recent hate message, including a death threat, received by her and her spouse, Marta Xargay Casademont.

An email received by the family allegedly read: "I hope someone shoots your wife dead." More threats were sent to Stewart, suggesting violence against the family.

The heckler, who has a history of online harassment, according to the New York Post, reportedly threatened Stewart's family, which includes the couple's two kids.

"We love that people are engaged in our sport, but not to the point that there's threats or harassment or homophobic comments being made," Stewart said on Tuesday, appearing on NBA Today.
