2. The corporate investor is Sela, described in one write-up as "a company based in Saudi Arabia." Sela is, in fact, owned by the Saudi Wealth Fund, which means Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. You may know him from that time he may have been personally involved in the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

🚨Unrivaled revealed the Philly matchups! Breeze faces Phantom at 7:30 PM ET, then Rose battles Lunar Owls around 8:45 PM. Philly’s own Natasha Cloud (Phantom) and Kahleah Copper (Rose) return home for the Jan 30th games. #WNBA #Unrivaled 🎟️ Get tickets 👉🏾 www.ticketmaster.com/philly-is-un...

The #WNBA Draft Lottery is set for November 23rd! This had me thinking of what players I'd expect to represent their teams at the lotto (given FA Armageddon/CBA talks): Wings - Paige Lynx - Kosu??? Storm - Dominique Mystics - Sonia/Kiki/Georgia Sky - Angel or HVL Could just be GMs, who knows!

Who doesn't love a power ranking?? This week, we dug into the brand new #Unrivaled rosters and had a lot of fun doing it! Tap in 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/3wbF...

Your #Unrivaled Development Squad: Hailey Van Lith Aziaha James Haley Jones Emily Engstler Laeticia Amihere Makayla Timpson Looking forward to these players getting in on the action this season!

Exciting to finally have our #Unrivaled rosters! We'll be recording tomorrow to talk about each squad and do a way too early power ranking 👀 Stay tuned!

Very curious if Breeze Basketball Club go with an experienced player with the first overall pick (Owls will likely leave one of Skylar or Lish unprotected for example) or if they'll select someone new like Domi or Paige. Excited to see at 7pm tonight! #Unrivaled

Nice to see that Sandy had offers from the Wings and the Storm as well. While either of those alternatives would have been exciting, I don't blame her for choosing the fresh new Tempo squad! #WNBA

On November 5th at 7 PM we'll learn the 8 clubs for this year's #Unrivaled Season. But how were the teams created?? Check out the details below!

Baylor snaps a 6-game skid against the AP Top 10, first such win since December 2023 Taliah Scott leads the way with 24 pts in her Baylor debut, joins the likes of BG, NaLyssa Smith and Odyssey Sims in scoring that many in a Baylor win over a top-10 opponent (1st since Lyss in 2022) #NCAAWBB

Not gonna lie, I dig the Hive jersey. And that green trim around the Phantom jersey is pretty sick. #Unrivaled #WNBA

Looking at the women's college basketball schedule for this week and I feel alive again #wbb

Now that we have the full roster of players for #Unrivaled, we'll know the teams soon enough! Check out the club roster reveals next Wednesday at 7 est!

Happy Halloween! A bit of a spooky stipulation on the CBA negotiation extension agreed upon yesterday... According to Alexa Philippou, the players have the right to void the extension at any time over the next 48 hours. The players are more focused than ever to get what they want! #WNBA

The WNBA and WNBPA have agreed to a 30-day extension, making the new CBA deadline November 30. At least agreeing to an extension is some progress!

#Unrivaled coaches are set! Returning: Andrew Wade, DJ Sackmann, Nola Henry, and T-Spoon New Faces: Rena Wakama, Zach O'Brien, Roneeka Hodges, and... Noelle Quinn! Excellent work by the league to bring in some exciting new coaches! #WNBA

49/48* #Unrivaled Our Final Announcement! The big fish, Dominique Malonga has arrived! #WNBA

48/48 #Unrivaled Looks like this could be our last announcement before the development team, but Rebecca Allen is here! #WNBA

I'm told players have not yet agreed to the WNBA's proposed 30 day extension as talks continue. Sources tell me both sides are meeting today.

I wonder if we get another #Unrivaled full-time player announcement with the news that Dijonai will miss the season. Or will her spot be filled by the development pool? Those new injury rules are still unclear. #wnba

47/48 #Unrivaled One of the last two spots has been filled! Welcome to the league, Aari McDonald!

Not exactly the deal we were looking for, but ESPN and Athletes Unlimited have reached a new 3 year extension, making ESPN the official broadcast partner for the pro softball, basketball and volleyball league. #WNBA #AthletesUnlimited

The WNBA has officially offered the players a 30 day extension on the October 31st CBA deadline. The players are open to the idea, but feel like they are still considerably far away from agreeing to such a deal at this point. #WNBA

And the coaches keep coming! Per Shams Charania of ESPN, The Seattle Storm are hiring NY Liberty Assistant Coach Sonia Raman. Prior to spending last year with NY, Raman was an assistant coach with the Memphis Grizzlies. She becomes the first person of Indian-origin to become a #WNBA head coach!

The Dallas Wings have also made a decision! The organization has decided to hire long time USF Women's Basketball Head Coach Jose Fernandez. A Smesko-esque move. Fernandez has coached for USF since 2000, and now will take the reigns in Dallas. #WNBA

Welcome back to the #WNBA, Sandy Brondello! Per @howardmegdal.bsky.social, the Toronto Tempo have agreed to terms with the former champion Liberty head coach.

From ESPN's article about the state of CBA negotiations: This double expansion draft is going to be an absolute mess! #WNBA Link to full article: www.espn.com/wnba/story/_...

MNBA News (only because we discussed it on the show last week): Bob Myers has accepted a job to become "President of Sports" for Harris Blitzer Sports, which puts him in the 76ers ecosystem, aligning with the most recent rumors I'd heard. Interesting stuff! #NBA

This just in: Chicago will host the 2026 WNBA All-Star Weekend! Sure will be interesting to see who's on their roster... #WNBA

Curious how long Portland would have held onto this announcement if it hadn't slipped early. Toronto now has a golden opportunity to make a more exciting choice at HC. #WNBA

And a coaching hire! The Portland Fire have hired Alex Sarama as their head coach, after prematurely spilling the beans on their LinkedIn. Sarama most recently spent time with the Cavaliers as an assistant coach as well as time with Portland's G League affiliate. #WNBA

Well here's a bit of #WNBA news! The Portland Fire have hired Ashley Battle to serve as VP of Basketball Ops. Battle played for Seattle, NY, and SA during her time in the league from 2005-2010.

Feels like a good day for a little #WNBA or #Unrivaled news if you ask me!

And in the blink of an eye, the season was over and everything was quiet... This week on ATB, we congratulate the Aces on their 3rd title and discuss what went wrong for Phoenix. We also chat about Halloween at the end of the show 🎃 #WNBA open.spotify.com/episode/6NaX...

The Aces just went to church. And, YES, that’s a TAMBOURINE they have in the huddle. Praise dances happened.

Welp. I think we know where the fan loyalty is gonna be during these post-season CBA negotiations... PAY. THEM. WHAT. YOU. OWE. THEM. (Peep A'ja's face 😂😂😂)

What can't she do?? A'ja Wilson becomes the first player in #WNBA history to win: MVP DPOY Finals MVP She's goated, plain and simple

An honest to goodness dynasty! Congratulations to the Las Vegas Aces on their 3rd championship in 4 years. Such an interesting season of ups and downs for this team, but they turned it on when the lights were brightest. Now we enter off-season... And things are going to be CRAZY! #WNBA

6 point game in Phoenix 👀 Can Kristi cook up a W? #WNBA

Live head coaching minutes for Kristi Toliver down the stretch here for Phoenix. Will be interested to see if she'll be doing so for another team to start next season! #WNBA

It has been all Aces at this point. They're playing about as close to perfect basketball as you could expect! 28 mins to another title. #WNBA

Love to see a commercial for Line 'Em Up! Hope we can see more of them! #WNBA

An early 3 from Sami Whitcomb should be huge for her confidence. Really hope she gets a chance to heat up from deep tonight. #WNBA

Going to need a loooooooot of Kahleah Copper tonight #WNBA

And there's an And One for Brown! #WNBA

Tibbetts going to Kalani Brown early. She's only played 4 mins in the series, so at least we're trying something different! #WNBA

The state of CBA negotiations are, per Annie Costabile: - No inclusion of supermax salary at or exceeding $1M in first year of deal - Proposed supermax closer to $850K; veteran minimum around $300K - WNBA denied fixed salary model not tied to league revenue #WNBA

Congratulations to our All #WNBA First and Second Teams!

Satou Sabally has been diagnosed with a concussion and is ruled out for Game 4 tomorrow. This is a huge loss for Phoenix, as Satou has been one of their leading scorers so far in this series. Honestly, I'm relieved that it seems it's not a more serious injury to her neck or spine. #wnba
