The Unrivaled League has brought so much commotion to the WNBA offseason, giving players the opportunity to go up against one another and not having to go overs

Courtney Vandersloot will participate in the inaugural season for the Unrivaled League following a successful 2024 season which she won a WNBA title.

She was drafted by the franchise with the third overall pick in the 2011 WNBA draft and spent 12 seasons in Chicago before leaving in free agency 16 months after helping bring the city its first WNBA title. Now, Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca is attempting to get back in business with the five-time All-Star.

New York Liberty stars were unable to withstand a fourth quarter comeback in the debut of the new 3-on-3 league.

Unrivaled is a unique opportunity for both free agents and contracted WNBA players hoping to contend in 2025. Relationships are being built on and off the court. Some players are having brutally honest conversations about their experiences with their teams, while others are actively recruiting people to join theirs.

Brittney Griner is testing the free agent market for the first time in her career. The All-Star center had meetings Tuesday with multiple teams, according to her agent. WNBA executives were in Miami for the opening of Unrivaled to talk with Griner and other free agents.

Unrivaled shined brightly on its opening night. The 3-on-3 women’s basketball league co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier debuted Friday night.
