History
On October 24, 2024, the Unrivaled basketball league announced the names and logos of six teams joining its league, which are Laces BC, Lunar Owls BC, Mist BC, Phantom BC, Rose BC, and Vinyl BC.[1] Phantom BC, along with the other five teams, are based in Miami, Florida for the inaugural 2025 season.[1] Six head coaches were later hired on November 15.[3]
On September 10, 2025, Unrivaled announced they were adding two new teams to the league, Breeze BC and Hive BC.[4][5]
Roster
2025 season
On November 20, 2024, the six head coaches collaborated on balancing and choosing the rosters for the six teams.[6] Phantom BC's roster was finalized with Marina Mabrey, Satou Sabally, Natasha Cloud, Brittney Griner, Katie Lou Samuelson, and Sabrina Ionescu as its players.[7]
Relief players
In pre-season training, Marina Mabrey sustained a right calf injury requiring a minimum of 2-weeks rest.[8] In response, Phantom signed Natisha Hiedeman to a relief player contract on January 17.[9] Hiedeman was reassigned to the Laces on January 27.[10] She rejoined Phantom on March 3 due to Sabrina Ionescu's exit from the league due to Ionescu's previously planned Asia tour with Nike.[11][12]
