Unrivaled continued Tuesday to roll out the roster for its second year.<\/p>\n

New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart, who co-founded Unrivaled, kicked off the newest round of reveals. She was followed by Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull, Los Angeles Sparks forward Azur\u00e1 Stevens, Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young and Washington Mystics guard Sonia Citron:<\/p>\n

Here’s the full list of players confirmed for Unrivaled’s 2026 season so far:<\/p>\n

Stewart might head into Unrivaled with a bit of a chip on her shoulder.<\/p>\n

The seven-time All-Star averaged 18.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, and she shot 46.1 percent from the field. While 2025 wasn’t one of her best years, she remained productive in New York’s frontcourt.<\/p>\n

Because she missed 13 games, Stewart had her worst finish in the MVP voting (ninth) since 2017, though. The defending champion Liberty also lost in the first round of the WNBA playoffs, which resulted in the firing<\/a> of head coach Sandy Brondello.<\/p>\n

More than that, Stewie has firmly ceded the title of WNBA’s best player to the Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson, the first four-time MVP winner in league history. Fellow Unrivaled co-founder Napheesa Collier may have overtaken her in that conversation as well.<\/p>\n

Stewart won’t be lacking in motivation when she heads south to Miami.<\/p>\n

Hull, meanwhile, remained a key role player in the Fever’s backcourt as they improved their record (24-20) despite Caitlin Clark being limited to 13 appearances.<\/p>\n

The 6’1″ guard averaged 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 27 minutes per contest. Her three-point shooting (36.7 percent) went slightly backward from 2024 but remained a big improvement compared to her first two years.<\/p>\n

Hull and Stevens will be looking to earn a second Unrivaled title after she was on championship-winner Rose BC during the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n

Stevens will also hope to strengthen her hand in WNBA free agency after finishing second in the Most Improved Player voting.<\/p>\n

The 6’6″ big set career highs in points (12.8) and rebounds (8.0), and she expanded her offensive repertoire to a degree she hadn’t before. She shot 38.1 percent from the floor and made 74 threes, well ahead of her previous best (42).<\/p>\n

Stevens will be able to showcase her floor-spacing abilities in a big way thanks to Unrivaled’s three-on-three gameplay, and WNBA general managers are bound to take notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Unrivaled continued Tuesday to roll out the roster for its second year.
