Sky<\/a> guard was one of four players announced today as Unrivaled finalized their 50-player roster. Taylor is signed to a multi-year contract, according to the league.<\/p>\nTaylor has already wowed in the 3-on-3 format as a member of USA Basketball\u2019s U23 team. Unrivaled\u2019s format is different than international 3-on-3, but the bigger court should actually suit Taylor\u2019s speed. It will also force her to improve her defense, a necessary growth point for the All-Rookie team selection. <\/p>\n
At Unrivaled she\u2019ll be joining several Sky players including Skylar Diggins, Kate Martin, Natasha Cloud, and Gabriela Jaquez (development pool). Sky forward Rickea Jackson is also signed to a multi-year deal with the league but will miss the 2027 season while recovering from an ACL injury.<\/p>\n
Season 3 of Unrivaled kicks off January 8th. The biggest shift this season is that the league will be playing more games on the road rather than at their primary arena in Miami. Tour stops have been announced in Boston, Inglewood, Detroit, San Francisco, Brooklyn, Minneapolis, Houston, and Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
Unrivaled was founded in 2024 by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier as an opportunity for elite players to stay statside. Taylor initially planned to play with the Turkish club Galatasaray this offseason, but ultimately opted for Unrivaled when the opportunity presented itself. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s official: Sydney Taylor is playing in Unrivaled.
