WNBA Move Raises Risk
The WNBA plans to expand its regular season from 44 games in 2026 to 50 in 2027, prompting questions about workload and recovery for Indiana Fever guards Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, both of whom have returned from significant injuries. Research cited in the article does not establish that the six additional games will cause more injuries; the schedule’s pace, travel, minutes and rest will also matter. The new collective bargaining agreement adds roster spots and requires consultation on game cadence and efforts to manage back-to-backs, while the full 2027 schedule has yet to be released.
