Unrivaled co-founder and New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart has officially committed to defending her league championship with Mist BC for the upcoming 2027 season. The 3-on-3 women’s basketball league revealed its full rosters on Wednesday, confirming Stewart as the marquee returnee from last year’s title-winning squad. She will be joined by two other former champions, Arike Ogunbowale and Veronica Burton, who will anchor the Mist’s core alongside new additions Izzy Harrison, Bridget Carleton, and Kiki Rice. This continuity provides Mist BC with a proven foundation as the league prepares to tip off in January, maintaining the competitive edge that secured their initial trophy.
WNBA Finals MVP Gabby Williams joins Laces as Unrivaled unveils 2027 rosters
The 2027 season features eight teams with six players each, adhering to a rotating roster model designed to keep the competition dynamic while preserving WNBA team affiliations. Notably, the Dallas Wings and Toronto Tempo boast the deepest talent pools, each contributing a league-high six players to their respective Unrivaled franchises. This structural approach ensures that star power is distributed across the league, creating high-stakes matchups that mirror the intensity of the WNBA regular season. The format continues to attract elite attention by blending familiar team dynamics with the fast-paced, high-scoring nature of 3-on-3 basketball.
A major storyline emerges with the Laces, who are headlined by Gabby Williams, fresh off her WNBA Finals MVP award. Williams will team up with her partner Marine Johannes, alongside Jackie Young, Maddy Siegrist, and Jess Shepard, forming a formidable unit. Satou Sabally, who missed most of the WNBA season due to a persistent head injury, will round out the Laces roster, adding depth and versatility. Meanwhile, the Vinyl features a strong Atlanta Dream contingent with Jordin Canada, Rhyne Howard, and Allisha Gray, joined by Dearica Hamby, Flau’jae Johnson, and Aneesah Samuels. These rosters set the stage for a competitive winter season where chemistry and star power will determine the next Unrivaled champion.
