Athletes Unlimited’s inaugural season of women’s basketball wrapped up Saturday night, but the league announced Sunday that it will return for a second season in 2023.
Through Athletes Unlimited, women’s basketball players who might otherwise play overseas in the winter have an opportunity to play domestically. The league played all its games at Athletes Unlimited Arena at the Sport Center of Las Vegas.
The league features four teams of 11 players, but players are redrafted each week. As a result, the inaugural season crowned an individual rather than a team champion on Saturday.
Atlanta Dream forward Tianna Hawkins won the title after earning the most points in the league’s system, which rewards both individual and team performance.
