Basketball Season 3: Movers of Week 2
There’s only one week of Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball remaining and big performances like the ones on display in Week Three will determine who finishes in the Top 4 on the leaderboard.
It was all vibes for Team Sims in purple, who went a perfect 3-0. Team Cloud finished the week 2-1, while Team Gray went 1-2. Team Mitchell did not pick up a victory and earned only 180 win points from three quarter wins.
Take a deep dive into the leaderboard standings heading into Week Four.
Mover of the Week: Isabelle Harrison
Isabelle Harrison returned to the court in Week Two after undergoing surgery to repair a torn left meniscus in May of 2023.
Since being activated she’s played limited minutes but dropped a career-high 41 points on Thursday night with 13 rebounds and two assists. That performance earned her 832 leaderboard points, including MVP 1 honors as Team Cloud defeated Team Mitchell 105-101 in overtime.

Kierstan Bell rose seven spots on the leaderboard into the fourth captain’s position. This is the second time in Bell’s AU career that she will serve as a captain and the first time this season. She collected 1,775 leaderboard points, including a season-high 698 leaderboard point performance on Sunday, with two MVP 1 honors.
Rising five spots was Air Hearn, who posted a season-best 656 stat points across Week Three. She also scored a career-high 25 points on Thursday against Team Gray with five 3-pointers.

Natasha Cloud recorded the league’s first triple-double during the 2023 season.
Champion Watch: Allisha Gray
Allisha Gray has been at the top of the leaderboard since the start of the season and while she leads the league in several statistical categories, she’s in a league of her own for MVP points.
She’s been named an MVP in eight of nine games this season and has 690 MVP points entering Week Four, including seven MVP 1 nods and one MVP 2 honors. She’s one MVP 2 honor away from tying Tianna Hawkins’ record of 750 MVP points in a season set in Season 1.
Gray was the second-highest leaderboard points earner (1,988) in Week Three, aided by 38, 42, and 36-point performances.
She’s the player to beat as she aims to become the AU Pro Basketball Season 3 Champion.
