Unrivaled, a professional women’s 3-on-3 basketball league, is set to debut in January.
Co-founders Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier have gotten some top talent in the WNBA to agree to play in the upstart league. However, they did not get the top woman who has brought so much attention to the league.
According to ESPN, Caitlin Clark, arguably the face of women’s basketball, has rejected the chance to join Unrivaled.
Ben Pickman of The Athletic reported that the Unrivaled League is not giving up. They still have an open invite for Clark should she decide to participate in the inaugural season.
On Wednesday, it was announced that 34 of the 36 spots in the Unrivaled league were announced, which left two “wild card” roster slots.
The groundbreaking 3-on-3 women’s basketball league is scheduled to jump ball on Jan. 17.
The league will feature six teams, and all of the games will be played in Miami. More than 45 primetime regular season matchups will be aired on TNT and truTV and streamed on Max.
They were really hoping Caitlin Clark’s presence would help with the ratings, but now they will have to hope the star power they have can deliver it so they can come back for a second season.
Indiana Fever Guard Caitlin Clark Turned Down $1 Million Offer To Join League
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has decided not to play in Unrivaled, the new 3-on-3 women’s professional basketball league.
Unrivaled, which has been years in the making, is set to tip off in January.
Unrivaled reportedly put together a “full court press” to try and convince Clark to join, even offering a salary north of $1 million for the eight-week season.
Not even seven figures could get her to come.

In the wake of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s miserable season-opening outing against the Dallas Cowboys, Browns fans speculated if he had a burner account to defend himself.
Internet detectives zoned in on the X account of one Leroy Bickerstaff (@LeroyBickers4), who has posted glowing remarks about Watson despite a disappointing start to the season.
That was then, and this is now.
It appears that fans have found a separate account that is now being linked to Deshaun Watson.
The account, @VPritchs, suddenly began defending the Browns quarterback during halftime of Sunday’s game, and many accused the quarterback of running the page and tweeting from the locker room.

Deshaun Watson said to blame himself after Cleveland blew an early 10-0 lead and lost 20-16 to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
The loss dropped the team to 1-3 on the year.
Deshaun Watson Is Once Again Dealing With More Off The Filed Trouble Amid Rough Season
Deshaun Watson and the Browns lost yet again on Sunday, Falling to the Raiders, 20-16, in Las Vegas.
He finished the game by completing 24 of 32 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
Watson’s woes on the field can also be attributed to what he is dealing with off the field, as another woman is accusing him of sexual assault stemming from an alleged October 2020 incident in a new lawsuit filed earlier this month.
He was previously suspended for 11 games in 2022 and fined $5 million by the league amid accusations of sexual misconduct by massage therapists.
Twenty-three of the 24 civil lawsuits filed against Watson were settled in 2022, according to ESPN.
Travis Kelce Used One Word To Describe His Whirlwind Relationship With Taylor Swift

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
