Unrivaled Basketball League Expands Player Roster

As the WNBA season concludes, the newly launched Unrivaled Basketball League is making waves by expanding its roster from 30 to 36 players ahead of its inaugural season in January 2025. Co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, the league has successfully attracted top talent, including Caitlin Clark's teammate Lexie Hull, and offers the highest average salary in women's professional sports history. Unrivaled president Alex Bazzell has expressed a continued interest in signing Clark, stating, 'We’re always going to have a roster spot for Caitlin Clark,' while emphasizing a non-aggressive approach to recruitment. The expansion allows for more premium athletes to join and provides each player with equity in the league. With strong financial backing and brand partnerships, Unrivaled aims to elevate women's basketball and attract even more attention as it prepares for its debut.
