WNBA Free Agency Is Shaping Up to Be Shockingly Quiet
PHOENIX — WNBA free agency this year had the makings of a high-octane, drama-filled blockbuster.
Instead, it’s shaping up to be nothing more than a blip.
More than 100 players are set to become free agents as a result of most veterans signing contracts that expired following the 2025 season in anticipation of a new collective bargaining agreement. But after CBA negotiations carried on for more than 15 months, ultimately leading to a deal being reached in March, free agency was put on hold.
Now, the league’s 15 general managers will have no more than two weeks to fill out their rosters, with free agency dates still not set by the league and training camp opening on April 19.
“A lot of decisions will have to be done relatively quickly,” New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu said. “I think GMs have been working for a really long time, though.”
