American basketball star on the move in 2026
USA Basketball has announced its 12-player roster for the Berlin World Cup, led by Breanna Stewart and a mix of veterans and first-time World Cup players. Sabrina Ionescu has been left off the squad, a decision that executives say weighs multiple factors as the team shifts toward a post-Olympic era.
Unrivaled has secured a Series C that values the women’s 3-on-3 league at $650 million, nearly doubling from last year. The round includes Ten Pillar Sports Fund and UC Investments, with notable backers like Carmelo Anthony, Alex Morgan, Geno Auriemma and Trae Young. Player equity pools have grown to about $200 million as the league expands its footprint and tour stops.
