Angel Reese is ready to excel professionally outside of the WNBA court. The rookie standout has signed on to join Unrivaled, a winter league co-founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart. The effort provides an additional option to professional women’s basketball players who often rely on overseas teams during the off-season.
The league will feature 6 teams, with 5 players on each team, according to the official website. The inaugural season tips off in January 2025 in Miami.
Games will have a 1-hour playing time, with 4 quarters of play including a game clock and shot clock. Unrivaled will also host a 1v1 single-elimination tournament played in February to determine the best 1v1 player in the world.
Additional players signed up for Unrivaled Basketball include Arike Ogunbowale, Jewell Loyd, Kelsey Plum, Rhyne Howard, Kahleah Cooper, Jackie Young, Chelsea Grey, and the two founders. Investors include U.S. soccer stars Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe, NBA legends Carmelo Anthony and Steve Nash, former ESPN and Turner presidents John Skipper and David Levy, LPGA champion Michelle Wie West, and more, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Skipper and Levy are set to spearhead its media rights and sponsorship deals.
“This is going to be a league for all players and that’s why the ownership perspective is really, really valuable for us,” explained Unrivaled president Alex Bazzell to THR.
“To do anything, you have to have a few first movers, but I think after that then it’s getting the collective group attached and knowing that they have an equal share and are part of helping this thing grow, and will have voices into how this thing grows as well.”
