Chicago Sky star Angel Reese recently opened up about her thoughts on debuting for the inaugural Unrivaled League, which is set to be one of the most popular basketball leagues outside the NBA and the WNBA. Many women’s basketball stars have signed up to join Unrivaled, and the league is sure to attract a lot of eyes when its first season launches this month.
The seventh overall pick of the 2024 WNBA draft and runner-up to Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark, Reese also earned an All-Star selection alongside her rival in their first year as pros. The “Chi-Town Barbie” will be headlining the Rose Basketball Club, teaming up with Chelsea Gray, Brittney Sykes, Kahleah Copper, Azura Stevens, and Lexie Hull.
Ahead of her debut in the women’s 3×3 league, Angel Reese posted a cryptic message for her fans on X on Sunday.

Following a 3×3 basketball format, the Unrivaled tournament comprises six teams, each with six players. The tournament begins on Jan. 17 and ends with the first Unrivaled championship tipping off on March 17, 7:30 p.m. EST.
The Rose BC will be part of Unrivaled’s opening day double-header in Miami, Florida. Playing under coach Nola Henry, Reese and company will be taking on Vinyl BC at 8:15 p.m. EST, following the game between Mist BC and Lunar Owls BC. With TNT owning the broadcasting rights for the Unrivaled League, all the matches will be streamed on MAX.
Reese had the opportunity to make an impact in the WNBA in her rookie season, but her momentum was halted by a season-ending injury. Now that she has seemingly made a complete recovery, she is likely going to be one of the biggest draws of the Unrivaled League.
