Additional details have emerged in the ongoing WNBA CBA negotiations. Zena, Sabreena, and Ben unpack the latest proposals on the table—from revenue sharing and draft combine rules to housing stipends and player welfare—that could shape the league’s future.
Next, we dive into our expansion mock draft, exploring how teams balance protecting young talent versus veterans, the challenges facing franchises like Minnesota and Las Vegas, and the impact of new coaching staffs and core designations on roster decisions.
We close things out with our Spotify Wrapped list—you won’t want to miss it!
