Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers showed her excitement in teaming up with Seattle Storm’s Dominique Malonga in Unrivaled’s 2026 season.
Bueckers and Malonga are part of Breeze BC, one of the two expansion teams for the second season. The 3-on-3 league’s training camp started on Thursday, and on Saturday, Breeze posted several highlights of its camp at the newly-renamed Sephora Arena in Miami.
In the posted clips, Bueckers was throwing passes to Malonga, with a couple of those being alley-oop lobs to the 6-foot-6 center. Bueckers was hyped up after completing the assist to Malonga in one of the videos.
The Wings star shared Breeze’s Instagram post on her IG stories and wrote:
“Like we really throwing lobs 🤯🤯🤯.”
Several fans are excited to see Bueckers team up with Malonga, who was drafted as the second pick of the 2025 WNBA draft, just behind the Wings star.
Cameron Brink, Rickea Jackson, Kate Martin and Aari McDonald will complete Breeze’s six-player roster, and Noelle Quinn was tapped as its coach. Unrivaled’s second season is set to begin on Jan. 5.

LA Sparks star Cameron Brink reacted to Paige Bueckers and Dominique Malonga’s highlight plays during the training camp. Like her Breeze teammate, Brink shared the team’s Instagram post on her IG story.
“So incredibly tuff 🩷💜,” Brink wrote in the caption.
On Monday, Bueckers and Brink appeared in Unrivaled’s virtual media day, where they praised each other. Bueckers said she is “really excited” to play with Brink, who was her teammate with the 3-on-3 Junior USA national and Junior Olympic teams.
Unrivaled’s second season will run through March and will reportedly feature some games in Philadelphia. The 3-on-3 league’s first season was played entirely in Miami’s Wayfair Arena, with Rose BC winning the inaugural championship. Las Vegas Aces star Chelsea Gray was named the first Unrivaled Finals MVP.
