On Friday, Unrivaled announced a player free throw challenge. As part of the challenge, the Unrivaled player who records the highest free throw percentage across the first five games of the season (January 5–19) will earn a $50,000 prize. Players are required to appear in a minimum of three games and attempt at least six free throws to qualify. Results are expected to be tracked live on Unrivaled’s Player Leaderboard.
The winning player will be announced in a Lunar Owls BC and Rose BC game on January 30 during a tour stop in Philadelphia. Free throws from Unrivaled’s first season are not currently available on the league’s website. Napheesa Collier (90.6%), Jackie Young (89.4%), Kelsey Plum (89.3%) and Paige Bueckers (88.8%) are among players participating in Unrivaled who had high free throw percentages in the WNBA.
Unrivaled begins its second season on January 5, 2026, with two new clubs and a player development pool, increasing the number of players from 36 to 54.
