Unrivaled basketball is coming to Detroit

How to watch: Tickets are on sale to attend, and the games will be shown on TNT, truTV and HBO Max.

• More details on the matchups are forthcoming.

Zoom in: Unrivaled has an official watch party partnership with Bar IX, a pop-up women's sports event company in Detroit that's looking to open a brick-and-mortar sports bar.

Context: Unrivaled was recently valued at around $650 million, Axios' Dan Primack reported.

• The league was co-founded by WNBA stars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart.
• It draws in star players because it offers high salaries for short seasons — an attractive alternative to playing overseas that keeps players fresh during offseasons.

The bottom line: There's lots to look forward to in Detroit for WNBA fans.
