NEW YORK (AP) When the WNBA’s collective bargaining agreement runs out in a few years, an injury list or roster expansion will be one of the issues that the union discusses with the league.
As it stands now, teams are hamstrung with what they can do with players who are hurt during the season. If a player is injured for an extended period of time, the team can either keep them on the roster – forcing the franchise to play with one less player – or they could cut them, which would cost the organization the player’s rights.
