In a historic first for the newly established league, Unrivaled revealed a landmark three-way trade on Saturday evening.
Natasha Cloud made her way from Laces BC to the Lunar Owls, before being transferred to Phantom BC, which secured the last remaining wild-card position.
Meanwhile, the Lunar Owls acquired Courtney Williams as part of this exchange.
In return, Laces BC welcomed Jackie Young and Tiffany Hayes to their roster.
The six teams participating in the league are set to commence their games starting January 17, with the opening matches taking place in Miami.
The overall salary cap for the 36 players involved in the league has been established at over $8 million, which also includes provisions for players to obtain equity in the organization.
The initial team formations took place last month, aiming for an evenly balanced competition across the squads.
Recently, the league added Katie Lou Samuelson to the roster of 36 players, leaving just one vacant position.
At the beginning of the week, they also secured Cameron Brink on a multi-year contract.
Noteworthy is that Brink, the No. 2 pick in the upcoming 2024 WNBA draft, is currently sidelined due to an ACL injury from which she is still recuperating.
The Lunar Owls hold her rights during this time.
Throughout the season, she will focus on her recovery while also engaging in marketing and promotional activities.
In related news, Caitlin Clark, who was named WNBA Rookie of the Year, will not be filling the final wild-card position; however, she remains open to the possibility of joining the league in the future.
