  MIAMI -- Chelsea Gray sat in Unrivaled 's recovery room following her team's loss on opening night of the new women's 3-on-3 pro basketball league. As hot and cold tubs swirled nearby, the guard put her headphones on to drown out outside noise, cheers from her opponents seeping through the walls.

The article from ESPN discusses the launch of Unrivaled, a new women's professional basketball league set to debut in January 2025. Unrivaled aims to provide an alternative for top female basketball players during the WNBA off-season, offering 3-on-3 and 1-on-1 games in Miami. The league, co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, has already secured significant investments and plans to feature six teams with 30 of the world's best players. The initiative not only seeks to keep players in the U.S. during the off-season but also to offer competitive play and potentially higher earnings, addressing some of the issues players face with overseas commitments. The league's opening weekend is highlighted as a significant event, showcasing the talent and the new format of the game.
