Locked On Women's Basketball – Daily Podcast On The WNBA

What do Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Breanna Stewart, and Rhyne Howard all have in common? They are all currently dealing with a host of different injuries. Host Jackie Powell is joined by The Next’s Lucas Seehafer to discuss why the WNBA is in the midst of an injury epidemic. Lucas first explains via his WNBA injury tracker why the data is steering in this direction along with some other league wide trends. Then the pair does some myth-busting about why in particular 2025 has been worse on the injury front than seasons prior. And finally Jackie and Lucas discuss how the WNBA’s upcoming new collective bargaining agreement can help play a role in helping players stay healthy moving forward.
