Curry invests in Unrivaled 3-on-3 league

Steph Curry was announced as an investor in Unrivaled on Monday, adding to a long list of high-profile stars to align with the startup 3-on-3 women's basketball league.

The four-time NBA champion's investment was included in Unrivaled's oversubscribed Series A investment round in December, in which the league said it secured more than $28 million in Series A funding to go along with the $7 million raised during the league’s seed round, which was announced in May 2024, totaling $35 million for the league to date.

“I am incredibly proud to be joining the Unrivaled family as the league continues to set a new standard for how women’s professional sports should operate," Curry said in a statement sent to the league. “Unrivaled is not just innovating the way we play basketball, but also how we value and invest in the athletes who drive the game forward.”

Other big-name Unrivaled investors include Carmelo Anthony and Giannis Antetokounmpo, young tennis star Coco Gauff — who has been courtside at games during Unrivaled's inaugural season — Olympian Michael Phelps, as well as Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis and women's basketball coaches Dawn Staley and Geno Auriemma.

Unrivaled, founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, just wrapped up its regular season and will host a two-day postseason next Sunday and Monday.

Angel Reese's second-seeded Rose team will face Alyssa Thomas and the No. 3 seed Laces in the first semifinal. Collier's top-seeded Lunar Owls will take on Dearica Hamby, Aliyah Boston, and No. 4 Vinyl in the other. The winners will advance to Monday's final.
