However, it’s worth noting that she ended up playing just 20 games after suffering a season-ending foot injury.<\/p>\n By the looks of it, though, McDonald is recovering well and will be ready when Unrivaled Season 2 begins in January.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n On Wednesday, Unrivaled announced the rosters of the eight teams competing after the draft conducted by the coaches. McDonald ended up joining one of the brand new teams, as she was drafted by Breeze BC.<\/p>\n McDonald will be teammates with some of the brightest young talents in the WNBA in Paige Bueckers, Rickea Jackson, Dominique Malonga, Kate Martin and Cameron Brink. Breeze BC will be coached by former Seattle Storm head coach Noelle Quinn.<\/p>\n As for the other Fever players, Mitchell will be playing for Hive<\/a>, while Boston will suit up for Phantom. Meanwhile, Hull will return to Rose BC, who won the championship in the inaugural season of Unrivaled.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n McDonald is a free agent this offseason, so it will be interesting to see whether the Fever bring her back. Playing in Unrivaled should give McDonald an opportunity to show teams even more what she can do.<\/p>\n Related: Former Iowa Coach Reveals Toughest Part About Coaching Caitlin Clark<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports<\/a> on Nov 8, 2025, where it first appeared in the WNBA<\/a> section.
