Gabby Williams, still basking in that WNBA title glow with her Golden State Valkyries, just got her assignment for the 2027 Unrivaled season, and it is a massive move. She’s heading to Laces BC, and believe me, this changes the whole vibe for the upcoming 3-on-3 season.
Finals MVP Williams Brings the Heat to Laces BC
Seriously, Williams was just named Finals MVP after dropping an iconic 30-point performance in Game 7 against the Atlanta Dream. You know that kind of clutch play. Now, she’s bringing that championship energy straight to Unrivaled, joining Laces BC. She won’t be alone either, linking up with playoff adversary Jackie Young and her partner Marine Johannes. This is a league that’s become a huge offseason magnet for the WNBA’s top talent, and adding a fresh Finals MVP? That’s a major statement. Unrivaled is gearing up for its biggest season yet, with games stretching from Boston to Detroit, Inglewood, Philadelphia, and Miami, and Williams is going to be a prime-time draw.
Valkyries Teammates Get Their Unrivaled Picks Too
It wasn’t just Williams finding her new spot. Four other Valkyries teammates also learned where they’d be playing. Veronica Burton, who already has an Unrivaled championship from last year *and* a WNBA title now, is staying put with Mist BC. She was one of her club’s two protected players, so no draft drama for her. Then there’s veteran Tiffany Hayes, who stepped up as an injury replacement last season. Now, she’s a full-fledged member of Phantom BC, a team that made it to the championship game last March. Kaitlyn Chen, another fresh face to the Unrivaled scene, is ready to inject her energy into Breeze BC. And finally, forward Kayla Thornton is joining Rose BC, which was the league’s inaugural champ back in 2025.
Forty-eight players got assigned to six teams on Wednesday, setting the stage for what looks like an absolutely stacked Unrivaled season. With a lineup like this, you know the competition is going to be fierce. Get ready, because these players are not slowing down even in the offseason.
