"Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier Dominate WNBA with Career-High Performances"

WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier have founded Unrivaled, a basketball league that will run during the WNBA offseason from January through March. The league aims to address long-standing frustrations with the WNBA, such as the controversial prioritization clause, and provide players with more options and choices. Unrivaled will feature 30 of the best professional women's players on six teams, playing one-on-one and three-on-three games. The founders believe the league will help fill the offseason void for players and boost the popularity of women's basketball.
