Unrivaled, a new pro league featuring fast-paced, pickup-style games, is helping WNBA players prepare for upcoming season.

With the launch of the 3x3 league, more top-tier WNBA players than ever have elected to stay in the U.S. this offseason.

Ogwumike was one of the big free agent moves last offseason when she signed with the Storm after spending the first 12 seasons of her WNBA career with the Los Angeles Sparks. Seattle was bounced in the first round of the playoffs, but the forward seems set on returning for another season, based on some of her offseason comments.

Players are finding the balance of using the games for conditioning while not overextending themselves before the WNBA season begins in May.
