Liberty's Breanna Stewart Named Mist Captain

Familiar Leadership on the Sidelines

Guiding the team from the sideline is head coach Zach O’Brien, an assistant coach with the New York Liberty. O’Brien’s existing rapport with Stewart adds another layer of continuity, blending Liberty principles with the fast-paced, player-driven identity Unrivaled has cultivated.

“I was on the court with Zach earlier, and I just feel back to myself, which I'm happy about", Stewart said. "Everything is working together, like in a tangent, to just give me the rhythm that I need. So, I'm going to be confident going into Unrivaled and really just getting back to myself.”

Captain Beyond the Court

Stewart’s captaincy extends far beyond the court. She remains one of the most respected leaders in the New York Liberty locker room and serves as a vice president of the WNBA Players Association, where her voice continues to shape the future of the league. Off the floor, Stewart also leads in business, taking on captain-like roles in her ventures and using her platform to elevate women’s basketball globally.

Looking Ahead to Unrivaled Season Two

As Unrivaled enters its second season, Mist BC once again reflects Stewart’s imprint — competitive, collaborative, and ambitious. With a star-studded roster and a captain who embodies leadership in every arena, the Mist are poised to make another deep run when the league tips off in the new year.
