With the debut of the new Unrivaled Basketball League scheduled for next January, the roster is filled with WNBA champions and MVPs. Two more WNBA players have been added to the league: Cameron Brink of the Los Angeles Sparks and Katie Lou Samuelson of the Indiana Fever.
Brink, the second overall pick in this year’s WNBA Draft, appeared in 15 games for the Sparks before suffering a season-ending torn ACL injury. She posted averages of 7.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, shooting 84% from the free-throw line in her rookie season.
Samuelson played 37 games this season, starting 15 games for the Fever. The fourth overall pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft averaged 4.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. Samuelson missed the 2023 season due to maternity leave and later welcomed daughter Aliya Renea Cannady in August of this year.
Which Unrivaled Teams are Brink and Samuelson Joining?
Brink will be joining the Lunar Owls Basketball Club in 2026. She will be part of a roster that includes six-time WNBA All-Star Skylar Diggins-Smith, WNBA champion Natasha Cloud, Olympic Gold Medalist Allisha Gray, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Napheesa Collier, and Washington Mystics center Shakira Austin. The head coach of the Owls is NBA & WNBA Skills Coach DJ Sackmann.
