The WNBA is coming back.
The league announced plans on Monday to tip off the 2020 season with a bubble league at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
Instead of the usual 34-game slate, the regular season will consist of 22 games before a normal playoff format. The league’s season opener was originally scheduled for May 15 before being postponed because of COVID-19. The league did not announce an exact return date on Monday, but is targeting late July.
Reduced schedule, full salary
Players will receive their full salaries for the season.
