Unrivaled, the new 3×3 league created by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, has continued making moves as they near their January 2025 start date.
The league announced Tuesday their first officially rostered player to be Unrivaled co-founder and two-time WNBA Champion, Breanna Stewart. Stewart, a forward for the New York Liberty, is a seven-year veteran. Since going No. 1 overall in the 2016 WNBA Draft, Stewart has averaged 20.7 points per game, 8.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists.
Stewart was drafted by the Seattle Storm where she played for six seasons. As a rookie, Stewart averaged 18.3 points per game, 9.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists, with these stats, Stewart won WNBA Rookie of the Year and was tabbed to the 2016 WNBA All-Rookie First Team.
Since then, Stewart has been a four-time WNBA All-Star, two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time finals MVP. In addition to this, she has been tabbed to the All-WNBA First Team and All-WNBA Defensive Team.
This season, Stewart is averaging 19.4 points per game, 9.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.1 steals per game. As the WNBA nears its Olympic Break, Stewart will head to Paris with the rest of Team USA as they look to secure Team USA’s eighth consecutive gold medal.
Unrivaled has also released its new logo with a blue, purple and white colorway. The bold new logo features a shield highlighting the league’s court, a crown and a ‘U’, all coming together to emphasize the uniqueness of Unrivaled.
Unrivaled will begin play in Miami, Florida in January of 2025. With 29 more roster spots to be announced, interest in the league continues to grow ahead of the season.
