As Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier begin the first season of Unrivaled, investors Geno Auriemma and Paige Bueckers will be watching proudly back at UConn.

MIAMI — On the eve of its debut, Unrivaled held a security meeting with its players about their safety.

Alex Bazzell, celebrity basketball trainer and husband of Minnesota Lynx Star Napheesa Collier, had an idea to create a 3-on-3 league of WNBA players that could transform the offseason. Now, in January of 2025,

The league will officially begin play on Friday, Jan. 18. The first game will be Collier's Lunar Owls BC against Stewart's Mist BC. It will start at 6 p.m. CT, followed by a second game at 7 p.m. CT. The Finals are scheduled to take place on Monday, March 17. The entire league season will be broadcast on TNT. TruTV and Max.

The combination of Collier and Washington Mystics center Shakira Austin project to be stingy on the interior, while Skylar Diggins-Smith, Allisha Gray and Courtney Williams all rank as plus-defenders at the guard spots, according to Pelton's model.

Along with being one of the WNBA's top stars, Napheesa Collier has worked diligently behind the scenes to build her own venture.

Napheesa Collier's husband Alex Bazell expressed his excitement about college basketball sensation Paige Bueckers' latest Instagram post.

Opening night of Unrivaled, the highly-anticipated 3-on-3 league co-founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, is set to tip off with a star-studded doubleheader on Friday night. TNT Sports' exclusive coverage of the inaugural season of Unrivaled presented by Samsung Galaxy will begin on Friday,

Breanna Stewart & Napheesa Collier want Michelle Obama & Denzel Washington to attend Unrivaled games. Before adding her signature to the desk drawer in her ceremonial office, Vice President Harris seemed to indicate that she has no plans to leave politics.

Stewie versus Phee was the matchup that fed families during the 2024 WNBA Finals. Two of the league’s best went back and forth, putting their respective teams on their backs and having some fun along the way. (Remember when Stewie asked refs for a tech on Phee? Hilarious stuff.)

We can’t help but marvel at the fact that Unrivaled is about to turn an unassuming production space into a packed house with hundreds of women's hoop fans descending upon South Beach to watch their favorites play professional 3v3 basketball.
