Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier’s Unrivaled unveiled its coaching hires Friday, and former Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon headlines a stacked lineup.
Weatherspoon joins Unrivaled’s staff after being dismissed as head coach of the Chicago Sky after one season. Several other familiar basketball names are also traveling to Miami to coach, including Phil Handy (assistant coach for the Los Angeles Lakers) and Adam Harrington (assistant coach and director of player development for the Brooklyn Nets).
Something to watch is whether Weatherspoon will reconnect with her former player and current Unrivaled athlete, Angel Reese. Reese was heartbroken over Weatherspoon’s firing, and playing in Unrivaled might allow her to be with her former coach again. Players for all six teams and where they are landing will be unveiled during a club selection show on November 20.
