BREAKING: Angel Reese is officially back with Unrivaled, signing a mid-season deal that will see her return to the 3×3 league on February 20, 2026. The announcement, made early Wednesday morning, comes after Reese teased her potential return during a recent podcast episode with her former Sky coach and current Unrivaled coach, Teresa Weatherspoon.
This development is crucial as Unrivaled aims to boost its visibility and performance ahead of the playoffs. Currently, Rose BC sits in fifth place out of eight teams, with only the top six qualifying for the playoffs. With a record of 5-6, the team is hopeful that Reese can inject the energy needed for a playoff push.
Reese’s announcement follows a busy offseason where she has engaged in various ventures including podcasting, fashion, and acting. She recently landed a role on the Netflix series “The Hunting Wives” and attended a Team USA training camp in December, preparing for the 2026 FIBA World Cup. Despite her busy schedule, Reese expressed her eagerness to return to Unrivaled, stating, “I miss the development… I can try stuff, I can do whatever, and I can take it and implement it to the W.”
Unrivaled has faced challenges this season, with injuries sidelining key players like Sabrina Ionescu, Napheesa Collier, and Satou Sabally. The league even established a development pool to support younger players stepping in for the injured stars. Reese’s return is expected to not only enhance Rose BC’s competitive edge but also generate excitement within the league, especially after Unrivaled recently set an attendance record for women’s pro basketball in Philadelphia.
The playoffs are just around the corner, commencing on February 28, 2026, with the championship scheduled for March 4, 2026. With Reese back on the court, fans are eager to see how her presence will impact the team dynamics and league viewership.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Rose BC, where Reese’s return could be the game-changer needed for both the team and the league. Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops!
