Unrivaled returned on Monday to kick off the upstart three-on-three league's second season. The league runs through early March and ends with plenty of time for players to get set for the start of WNBA season, but that start of the season is currently in doubt. The league's active collective bargaining agreement expires on Jan. 9 and according to ESPN it doesn't look like there will be any sort of deal by then, which will open the door for a work stoppage.
Napheesa Collier, one the co-founders of Unrivaled, did not play in the Lunar Owls season opener, but she was in the building and joined the Turner broadcast during the evening doubleheader to discuss the state of negotiations.
