Given the three-on-three format, Reese took the unusual position of point guard. However, the WNBA all-star delivered in the new role. Before injuring her wrist during a rookie season, Reese broke numerous WNBA records, including most consecutive double-doubles.

“Angel Reese is gonna be a menace next W season. This Unrivaled is gonna be so good for her game, you can already see it,” wrote one supporter on X.

Unrivaled just began its inaugural season to provide game time and more pay for women basketball players, who usually have to play overseas to get both. The WNBA season only lasts during the spring and summer when the NBA is either dormant or winding down its season.

The innovative league has secured celebrity investors from NBA great Carmelo Anthony to actors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. Tennis champion Coco Gauff also recently invested in the upstart league.

Reese also joined fellow newcomers like Flau’jae Johnson to the Unrivaled Courts.
