Just over a week after the women’s NCAA women’s basketball tournament, the stage for the WNBA draft is set. For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will be in-person as the sports world slowly but surely returns to some sense of normalcy.
The draft is scheduled to start Monday at 7 p.m. ET and is being held in New York City with the broadcast coming on ESPN in the U.S. and TSN4 in Canada. This will also be WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert’s first draft. She became the association’s first commissioner in 2019 and will have the pleasure to call the names of some of the best young basketball players in the world.
