WNBA Stars Launching New Domestic League During Offseason
- Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier are founding a new women's basketball league called Unrivaled that will run from January through March.
- The league will feature 30 of the top professional women's players spread across six teams playing in Miami.
- Games will include three-on-three and one-on-one matchups instead of traditional five-on-five games.
- The goal is to raise enough funding to pay players salaries comparable to their WNBA contracts to offset lost overseas earnings.
- The new league provides players an opportunity to compete at a high level in the US during the offseason instead of having to choose between playing abroad or staying home.
