History

On October 24, 2024, the Unrivaled basketball league announced the names and logos of six teams joining its league, which are Laces BC, Lunar Owls BC, Mist BC, Phantom BC, Rose BC, and Vinyl BC.[1] Mist BC, along with the other five teams, will be based in Miami, Florida for the inaugural 2025 season, before the teams travel more frequently during the 2026 season.[1] Six head coaches were later hired on November 15.[4]

2025

Breanna Stewart scored the first basket in Unrivaled history.[5]

Roster

On November 20, 2024, the six head coaches collaborated on balancing and choosing the rosters for the six teams.[6] Mist BC's roster was finalized with Breanna Stewart, Jewell Loyd, Rickea Jackson, DiJonai Carrington, Courtney Vandersloot, and Aaliyah Edwards as its players.[7][8]

In January, Mist BC signed NaLyssa Smith to a relief player contract due to Carrington and Loyd being unavailable for their January 24 game versus Phantom.[9]
