Breanna Stewart played in inaugural season of Unrivaled

Breanna Stewart played in the inaugural season of Unrivaled Basketball League, which she co-founded, and had an eventful yet challenging campaign.

The New York liberty superstar was part of Mist BC in the 3-on-3 league and posted solid numbers of 19.1 points, 11 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals in 14 games. However, the team struggled for wins, finishing with a 5-9 record to miss the playoff bus.

With Mist, Breanna Stewart played alongside fellow WNBA stars DiJonai Carrington (Dallas), Courtney Vandersloot (Chicago), Aaliyah Edwards (Washington), Jewell Loyd (Las Vegas) and Rickea Jackson (Los Angeles).

Unrivaled is now in its playoff phase and down to four teams from a field of six, namely, Lunar Owls BC, Rose BC, Laces BC and Vinyl. The knockout semifinals are set for March 16 and the final on March 17.

The league was co-founded by Stewart and Napheesa Collier (Minnesota) to provide a viable option for women professional players to showcase their talent in the United States during the WNBA offseason while earning good pay.
