Angel Reese shared her thoughts as she gears up for the inaugural Unrivaled League, which is poised to become one of the most popular professional basketball leagues outside of the NBA and WNBA. With some of the biggest stars in women’s basketball set to take the court in this league, Unrivaled is expected to attract a lot of attention in its first season.
At the helm of the Rose Basketball Club is the 2024 Rookie of the Year runner-up and the No. 7 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, who is one of the most popular players in the WNBA. She even earned an All-Star selection in her rookie year as a pro.
Prior to her debut in the league, Reese shared a cryptic message with fans in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday.
“Them mf tables always turn,” Reese said in her tweet.
While it’s unclear what Reese is referring to, the Chicago Sky star is set to lead the charge in a new era of women’s basketball with the launch of Unrivaled.
