Soon after the calendar turns to 2025, the professional women’s basketball landscape will change forever with the start of Unrivaled, the new 3-on-3 league<\/a><\/span> co-founded by WNBA stars\u00a0Breanna Stewart<\/a> and Napheesa Collier<\/a>, which aims to give players an alternative option to going overseas during the offseason. <\/p>\n

The action will tip off on Jan. 17 and run for nine weeks<\/a><\/span>, with all the games being played in Miami. While it is 3-on-3, the games will be played on a shorter full court with four, seven-minute quarters. An outline of the full rules is yet to be released, but Collier\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0on social media that it will look like “normal basketball with more spacing.”\u00a0 <\/p>\n

There will be 36 players in this inaugural season — the final spot was filled by New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu on Dec. 23 — and six teams. Instead of a draft, the teams were chosen by a selection committee that split the teams by positions and skills. The league released a video on its YouTube page showing the selection process and the rosters for each team.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

In the weeks since the initial announcement, there have been a few changes. Kelsey Plum dropped out, Cameron Brink and Katie Lou Samuelson were added as two of the three “Wildcards” and Laces BC, Lunar Owls BC and Phantom BC completed a three-team trade that sent Natasha Cloud and a Wildcard spot to Phantom, Jackie Young and Tiffany Hayes to Laces and Courtney Williams to Lunar Owls.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
