Brittney Griner believes the new 3-on-3 league will put pressure on the WNBA to improve player treatment.

The upcoming "Unrivaled" league may bring change to women's basketball, according to one perennial WNBA All-Star.

ESPN recently reported that Brittney Griner, one of the 36 WNBA players heading to Miami for the 3-on-3 league, stated that the game will have a "different look."

"Griner stated that Unrivaled is introducing something new to women's basketball. They are attempting to provide a different appearance and sensation. By bringing everyone together in one location, they are able to create a cohesive product. Unrivaled is demonstrating that it is possible to produce a high-quality product with limited time and resources."

Despite Caitlin Clark's presence, it has taken a long time for WNBA players to fight for more.

Teams began chartering flights this past season, despite the average salary remaining below $150,000 (Clark's salary was $86,000, but she earned millions through endorsement deals).

The season will last only two months, and top-notch players will earn more than $220,000.

Griner stated that the [WNBA] will face more pressure to perform better due to the increased visibility brought by more viewers and corporate partners.

Griner's Mercury teammate, Kahleah Cooper, agreed.

""I'm grateful that they're able to put some pressure on things we deserve and things we are pushing for," Cooper said."

Clark will not participate in the league as she hasn't had an extended break from basketball since her senior year at Iowa, which started in late 2023.

Griner has been participating in an offseason program for the first time since her release from a Russian prison in December 2022.
