Unrivaled basketball league reveals rosters: See full team breakdown

by admin

The newest professional women’s basketball league is a few months away from tipping off, and we now know who will play for each team in the inaugural season.

Unrivaled released its team rosters on Wednesday, the next step in the league as it approaches its season opener in January. The 3-on-3 league played on a “compressed full court” has six teams of five players and promises to offer “the highest average salary” in women’s pro sports. Several of the WNBA’s top stars have committed to playing in the league, which will run from Jan. 17 until March 17, about two months before the WNBA season starts.

There are six teams in the league, and while the rosters are set, two squads each have one wild card spot open, meaning there are players who haven’t been announced as playing in the league. With so many of the world’s best playing, the teams are quite stacked. Here are the rosters for each team, as well as their head coach:

New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart (30) looks to drive past Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier (24) in the fourth quarter during the 2024 WNBA Finals.
