Unrivaled, the upcoming 3v3 league, has unveiled its six teams with 34 confirmed players so far. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese will team up with Indiana Fever’s guard Lexie Hull, who is, of course, a good friend of Caitlin Clark.
Reese and Hull are part of the Rose Basketball Club, which also includes Las Vegas Aces point guard Chelsea Gray, Phoenix Mercury guard Kahleah Copper, Washington Mystics guard Brittney Sykes and Los Angeles Sparks forward Azura Stevens.
The Chicago Sky star reacted to the news by sharing a rose emoji on X (formerly known as Twitter), and then replying to some of her new teammates’ messages, from Copper and Gray.

This six-team league will feature six players per team competing on a 70-foot-by-50-foot court, a stark contrast to the traditional 10-minute, 12-second shot clock format of Olympic and FIBA 3×3. Unrivaled will incorporate four quarters, a game clock, and a shot clock, promising a fast-paced and exciting experience.
The eight-week season will consist of six weeks of round-robin play, followed by a two-week postseason. Additionally, a thrilling 1v1 tournament will run throughout the season, with the top individual player receiving a minimum prize of $250,000.
