Athletes Unlimited and Unrivaled are providing women's basketball players in the U.S. with more offseason opportunities to play closer to home and supplement their WNBA salaries. This shift is seen as a positive development by players like Alysha Clark, who believes it addresses long-standing issues of having to go overseas to make a living playing basketball.
With Athletes Unlimited in its fourth season and Unrivaled in its debut year, players now have the option to choose between a 5-on-5 format in Nashville or a 3-on-3 competition in Miami. The leagues offer different playing styles and structures, catering to a wide range of players' preferences and schedules.
