Inside Unrivaled at Sport Beach & Historic Milestones in the W

Angel’s triple-double. Allisha’s 32-piece. Rhyne making history from deep. The last two weeks have been all Unrivaled.

Allisha Gray stacked a second Player of the Week award, then torched Washington for a career-best 32 points as Atlanta climbed to second in the East. Her teammate in Atlanta, Rhyne Howard, also made headlines becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 300 career three-pointers. Meanwhile, more history was made when Angel Reese became the second-youngest player to record a triple-double in WNBA history.

And don't forget Unrivaled HQ presented by Sephora is heading to Indy! On Friday, July 18th and Saturday, July 19th, fans will be able to pick their favorite club, explore the GM's office, take photos at Media Day, walk the Sephora Tunnel, and more! We can’t wait to see you there!

🔭 On the Radar: Allisha Gray

Allisha Gray is the engine behind Atlanta’s 10-5 start, combining clutch shot-making with do-it-all defense. Over her first 15 games, Allisha is putting up 19.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per night while drilling 43% of her threes—all while taking the toughest perimeter matchup on defense.

• 🏆 Awards season: First Dream player since 2018 to collect multiple Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors in one year (Weeks 2 & 4). She also just reached 4th All-Time in Dream history for three-pointers made.

• 📈 Stat sizzle

  • Ranks second league-wide in made threes (37).

  • Erupted for a career-high 32 points during Atlanta’s record 18-triple win on June 15.

  • Leads the W in Win Shares (3.48), a metric that converts a player’s box-score impact into team victories.

• 🤝 Dream chemistry: Five Unrivaled teammates share the floor—Gray, Rhyne Howard, Jordin Canada, Naz Hillmon, and Brittney Griner—fueling the league’s No. 1 offensive rating and Atlanta’s best start in nine-years.

Bottom line: Gray’s surge has vaulted Atlanta into the title conversation, and her name is now the first circled on every opponent’s scouting report.

Unrivaled Hits the Global Stage

From expansion to partnerships and unlocking new revenue streams, it’s a behind-the-scenes look you won’t see anywhere else.
