The newest domestic women’s basketball league tipped off Friday, as Unrivaled staged its first two games outside of Miami. The 3×3 league co-founded by stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart intends to provide WNBA stars an alternative to playing overseas in the offseason. Ten 2024 WNBA All-Stars took the court for Unrivaled’s debut.

In the nightcap, the youthful Vinyl, featuring three under-25 players, beat the veteran Rose. Boston and Rae Burrell played a smaller role, combining to score 19 points, as 2024 Olympic 3x3 women's basketball bronze medalists Rhyne Howard (33 points) and Dearica Hamby (17 points) flourished, but each had meaningful contributions.

The WNBA season is months away, but there’s now an opportunity to watch WNBA stars including Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier and Brittney Griner.

The new 3-on-3 women's basketball league co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier will debut Friday night. The idea for the domestic league was first discussed a couple of years ago and now it's come to fruition.
