After Monday's 92-58 loss to the Lunar Owls, Breanna Stewart and Mist BC's inaugural season of Unrivaled basketball has ended. The league co-founder's team posted a 5-9 record, causing them to miss the final four.
With Laces BC, Rose BC, Vinyl BC and Lunar Owls BC set to compete in the final four, Stewart paid tribute to her team on Instagram on Wednesday. The reigning WNBA champion called her teammates Misties and reflected on their inaugural season while expressing excitement for the season ahead.
"Mistie Mistie, mist me will all the bs. Lead the league in practice minutes, crop tops and ejections. Always vibes on the Misties, see yall next year," Stewart wrote.
While the team struggled to fight their way into the top four, Breanna Stewart finished sixth in regular season scoring, averaging 19.1 points.
Even though the team was tied with Vinyl (5-9), Mist had a -30 point differential, costing them the No. 4 seed.
So far, there's been no word yet on how the league will handle rosters for the 2026 season. The league could keep rosters the same, with new additions to the player pool being added to a draft, or have coaches blindly assemble rosters once more before being assigned to their respective teams.
Based on Stewart's post, it sounds like there's a chance the league will keep teams together next season.
