The Phantom will be led by three-time WNBA All-Star and 2020 AP Player of the Year Sabrina Ionescu. Joining her in the starting lineup will likely be the dominant center Brittney Griner, who has plenty of experience over her 12-year professional career. Forward Satou Sabally averaged 17.9 points and 6.4 rebounds last year with the Dallas Wings should round out the starting three.

The Laces BC are expected to go with a smaller lineup with guard Jackie Young and Kayla McBride. The Laces will look to veteran forward Alyssa Thomas to provide a defensive presence in the post.

6-foot-5 center, Stefanie Dolson, is also set to play a big role in a guard-heavy lineup. Dolson had a strong season with the Washington Mystics in 2024, averaging 9.5 points and 4.9 rebounds over 39 games.

Phantom BC vs Laces BC players to watch

Sabrina Ionescu will be the player to keep an eye on for the Phantom. The 27-year-old point guard is known for her offensive abilities and is capable of transforming a game with her 3-point shooting.

Last season, Ionescu ranked fourth in the WNBA with 2.8 3-pointers per game. In 2023, she was No. 1 in the category, recording an incredible 3.6 3-pointers per game and shooting 44.8% from behind the arc.

Jackie Young is coming off an exceptional year where she won an Olympic Gold medal and was named to the WNBA All-Star game for a third consecutive season.

Young was the first overall pick in the 2019 WNBA draft out of Notre Dame and has developed into one of the elite players in women's basketball. The 3-on-3 format should suit the sharpshooting guard, who will have plenty of space to work with at Unrivaled.
