A new 3x3 basketball league that could revolutionize women's basketball launches today in Miami.
WNBA players have long played overseas in the off-season to supplement their meager league salaries, but Unrivaled says it has the highest average salary in women's sports history at $222,222 — higher than the WNBA's regular max contract of $214,466 for 2025.
Zoom in: While Detroit is still making arguments for a return of its own WNBA team, local star Rickea Jackson, who went to Detroit Edison, is playing in Unrivaled this season for the Mist.
