The first week of Unrivaled has official come to a close—and it was exciting!
Each club has played two games so far, which means it’s time for the first power ranking of the 2025 Unrivaled season. Where do all these teams stand and what has been the biggest takeaway watching each team? Here’s how the clubs stack up, starting with No. 6:
6. Phantom
Roster: Natasha Cloud, Brittney Griner, Natisha Hiedeman (relief player) Sabrina Ionescu, Marina Mabrey (out for 2-4 weeks with calf injury), Satou Sabally, Katie Lou Samuelson
It’s been a rough start of the Unrivaled season for Phantom. Neither one of its games was particularly close, and in the first game they lost by 38 points. The biggest issues from Phantom have come on the defensive end. At one point in their season opener, they played a lineup of Sabrina Ionescu, Satou Sabally and Katie Lou Samuelson together. We don’t have lineup data for Unrivaled (although that would be cool!), but I would imagine that unit did not perform well at all.
Sabally has struggled scoring the ball and punishing smaller defenders, which is concerning given how much they need her offense. The same goes for Brittney Griner. However, it is still early and if both players can find a rhythm, this team does have the potential to be one…
