The Unrivaled season 2 is up and running, with Chelsea Gray and Paige Bueckers making headlines with their mega performances. But one player, who has been consistent in the league and putting up efficient numbers, is Breanna Stewart. The player struggled in the inaugural season following an injury, but in season 2, she is delivering big.
In the recent match-up, Chelsea Grey was the player of the game for her 30-point performance. Her outing highlighted the Lunar Owls’ wrong decision in protecting Skylar Diggins over Grey. But it wouldn’t have been possible without the veteran forward, Stewart.
Breanna Stewart Delivers At Unrivaled
As a co-owner and top player from the WNBA, everyone expected the former UConn star to dominate the league right from the start. But Stewart raises eyebrows as early Unrivaled appearances reveal concerning issues with her game. Though she was effective on the floor, she struggled to score from the range.
In the recent game against the Lunar Owls (minus Napheesa Collier), Stewie not only scored her first three-pointer of the season, but also scored 21 points in just 16 minutes of gameplay. Along with that, the star had eight rebounds and three assists.

Leaving the team in control, the player later allowed her teammates to have some gametime before the playoffs. In an earlier game, she even scored 22 points against a Laces team featuring Alyssa Thomas, the league’s top two-way player. While Napheesa Collier and A’ja Wilson called Stewart the toughest opponent, the player is certainly returning to her best shape.
