Overview
- Alyssa Thomas signed on as a player, partner and owner with Project B, joining Nneka Ogwumike as the startup’s second confirmed WNBA signee.
- Project B plans a six-team, 66‑player traveling circuit across Europe, Asia and Latin America from November 2026 through April 2027, avoiding overlap with the WNBA season.
- The league promises larger salaries and equity stakes; multiple outlets report seven‑figure deals starting around $2 million, far above current WNBA supermax levels.
- Project B’s calendar overlaps with the Unrivaled 3‑on‑3 league, meaning future participation in both is not feasible even as Thomas is slated to play in Unrivaled this January.
- Media reports have linked Project B to Saudi‑affiliated funding and celebrity backers, while specific financing details and full contract terms have not been disclosed.
