Unrivaled women's 3-on-3 basketball league launches with strong performances and challenges

The new professional women’s 3-on-3 basketball league, Unrivaled, launched successfully with four games over the weekend. Napheesa Collier's Lunar Owls emerged as a strong team, winning both their matches, with Collier leading in scoring and rebounds. In contrast, the Phantom struggled in their opener, losing by 38 points to the Laces. They played without key players and Sabrina Ionescu faced challenges after recent surgery, impacting the team's performance. Despite sold-out crowds, the arena appeared empty on broadcasts due to camera angles. Viewers enjoyed strong commentary and saw promising performances from rookies, highlighting their development since the WNBA season ended.
