Unrivaled expands women’s 3-on-3 league to Philadelphia as city breaks through as a hotbed of hoops
January 30, 2026
Natasha Cloud, a New York Liberty standout, plays in Philadelphia for the first time professionally. She’s part of the 3-on-3 women’s basketball league, Unrivaled, which held games in Philly on Friday. The event marked the return of women’s pro basketball to the city after nearly 30 years. Philly native Kahleah Copper, a 2021 WNBA Finals MVP, also played. The league that was co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier aims to expand its fan base and revenue by touring. Despite challenges with viewership, the sold-out event shows strong support for women’s basketball in Philadelphia.
