Lunar Owls Basketball Club, also known as Lunar Owls BC, is an American professional basketball team. They are a member of the Unrivaled basketball league, and made their debut in January 2025. The team is currently based in Miami, Florida. They are led by coach DJ Sackmann.

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, Rose BC, Phantom BC and Vinyl BC. Lunar Owls BC, along with the other five teams, will be based in Miami, Florida for the inaugural 2025 season, before the teams travel more frequently during the 2026 season. Alex Bazzell, the president of Unrivaled, confirmed the league currently owns all six teams. Six head coaches were later hired on November 15.

Roster

On November 20, 2024, the six head coaches collaborated on balancing and choosing the rosters for the six teams. After the selection show, Lunar Owls BC's roster was finalized with Napheesa Collier, Allisha Gray, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Shakira Austin, Natasha Cloud, and a wildcard spot.

On December 17, 2024, Cameron Brink signed a multiyear deal with the Lunar Owls; however, Brink will not appear in the league until the 2026 season due to injury. On December 21, 2024, Laces BC traded Courtney Williams to Lunar Owls BC in exchange for Natasha Cloud.
