MEDLEY, Fla. (AP) — Napheesa Collier and
Breanna Stewart’s 3-on-3 women’s basketball league Unrivaled is
adding two more clubs — Breeze Basketball Club and Hive
Basketball Club — for its second season.
The league announced the expansion Wednesday, saying it also
will bring in six players for a season-long development pool and
add a fourth night of games.
That brings the league to eight teams and 54 players, up from
six teams and 36 players who competed in its inaugural
eight-week season that wrapped up in March.
Unrivaled’s second season will tip off in January.
During the first season, games were played on Friday, Saturday
and Monday, with each club playing two games per week. Clubs
will continue playing two nights a week but will no longer play
back-to-back games.
The league's development pool will include young players who
temporarily will fill a spot on a team if a player on its roster
gets injured. After that, they’ll return to the pool.
The expansion comes two days after Unrivaled announced that it
is now valued at $340 million after closing its oversubscribed
Series B investment round that brought in funding from another
group of sports figures.
