WNBA Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers was among the player announcements made by Unrivaled, the 3-on-3 women's professional league, on Monday, Sept. 22.
The news isn't a surprise, as Bueckers signed a three-year deal with Unrivaled back in April. She also has invested in the league.
"I mean, investments in women's sports -- I feel like the return on investment has been amazing," Bueckers said in April. "Even the first year [of Unrivaled], the numbers were shocking. They just blew it out of the water. And just to invest so much in women's sports, it's growing at an all-time high, and it's just a great time to be in women's sports."
Bueckers, who led the UConn Huskies to their 12th national title in April, was selected No. 1 overall by the Dallas Wings. She averaged 19.2 points, 5.4 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 36 games this season. Bueckers set the single-game rookie scoring record with 44 points on 80.9% shooting.
