The 2027 rosters for the eight Unrivaled basketball clubs were announced on Wednesday, scattering four former Minnesota Lynx players across different teams. The 3-on-3 league, based in Miami and co-founded by Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, has released its lineups for the upcoming third season.
Olivia Miles, the WNBA Rookie of the Year, will make her on-court debut in January for the Hive. Although she joined the league's Future is Unrivaled Class of 2025 via an NIL deal, she did not play in the previous two seasons. She signed a multi-year contract with the league and is the first rookie announced for this offseason. Her Hive teammates include Sonia Citron, Cameron Brink, Rae Burrell, Naz Hillmon, and former Lynx guard Natisha Hiedeman.
Collier and Courtney Williams, both Lynx starters, will reunite on the Lunar Owls for the third year. They played together during the 2025 inaugural season. Williams moved to the Breeze in 2026 while Collier recovered from double ankle surgery. The Owls roster also includes Marina Mabrey, Skylar Diggins, Sydney Taylor, and Temi Fagbenle.
Kayla McBride returns to the league after missing the 2026 season. She played for the Laces in 2025 and will now join the Phantom. Her teammates are Kelsey Plum, Aaliyah Edwards, Natasha Cloud, Tiffany Hayes, and Li Yueru.
Minnesota native Paige Bueckers returns to the Breeze for her second season. She finished fourth in points per game and second in assists per game last year. She will play alongside former Lynx teammate DiJonai Carrington and French forward Dominique Malonga.
Bridget Carleton makes her Unrivaled debut for the Mist, joining Stewart who returns to defend the title. Jessica Shepard plays on the Laces with WNBA Finals MVP Gabby Williams, Marine Johannès, Jackie Young, Maddy Siegrist, and Satou Sabally. The Rose roster features Chelsea Gray, Lexie Hull, Brittney Sykes, Aziaha James, Kayla Thornton, and Shakira Austin. The Vinyl includes Allisha Gray, Rhyne Howard, Dearica Hamby, Aneesah Morrow, and Jordin Canada.
The league will release details on which teams visit each tour stop, including games scheduled in Minneapolis on Jan. 24, later this week.
