MEDLEY, Fla. — Satou Sabally was all over the court. The leading scorer for Unrivaled’s Phantom BC drained a 3-pointer at the top of the key at Wayfair Arena in Miami, dove for a loose ball a couple possessions later, then took a few deep breaths as she made her way to the bench.

As future WNBA facilities are built, they should follow the blueprint Unrivaled created. It’s the best endorsement the league could give players, saying something they have been painstakingly waiting to hear: We see you, we hear you and we value you.

Unrivaled, a new pro league featuring fast-paced, pickup-style games, is helping WNBA players prepare for upcoming season.
