Skylar Diggins-Smith will represent the Lunar Owls Basketball Club in the league alongside Napheesa Collier, Courtney Williams, Allisha Gray, Cameron Brink and Shakira Austin. The team is led by NBA skills coach, DJ Sackmann.

Unrivaled features 36 players split into six teams playing in a 3x3 style on a condensed full court. In an interview with Seattle Storm Official last week, Diggins-Smith expressed excitement for participating in the league and shared how it would help her improve her game for the WNBA.

“The quality of competition that’s going to be there, I’m a firm believer that iron sharpens iron,” Diggins-Smith said. “The talent that’s been collected for the inaugural season already, that’s exciting. I look forward to that competition and that will prepare me, ultimately, for how I want to be in the WNBA.”

In the 2024 season, Skylar Diggins-Smith averaged 15.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 1.7 steals per game in the regular season. The 5-foot-9 guard shot 42.7% from the field, including 29.1% from beyond the arc, as the Seattle Storm clinched the fifth seed and were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
