ESPN was an early partner of Athletes Unlimited, signing on for its first softball season alongside CBS Sports, but its involvement since has been limited to international distribution.

Athletes Unlimited basketball player Jessica Kuster, Rice’s all-time leading scorer with six seasons of international experience across Romania, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy and Australia, is looking forward to getting to play stateside and getting to have family come watch.
“And then of course there’s so many great players that are going to be in this league. I think there are going to be a lot of people who might not be such familiar faces. And so there’s going to be a lot of surprises, you know. So just getting to see that. And obviously we play so much, we have a lot of games. So just really seeing how people handle that, night in and night out. Just playing hard for the entire time we’re there. I think it’s really going to bring out who people are and what you’ve really got.”
The Athletes Unlimited basketball broadcast team will include color commentary from Hall of Famer Sheryl Swoopes and former coach Carol Ross while play-by-play duties will be handled by Cindy Brunson.
