Napheesa Collier to miss 4-6 months after surgery on ankles

Napheesa Collier will undergo surgery on her ankles after injuring them during the WNBA season, sidelining her for four to six months and forcing her to miss the upcoming Unrivaled season.

Sources: WNBA projecting big losses in latest proposal; union disagrees

While sources said the WNBA is projecting that a recent proposal from the WNPBA would result in $700 million in losses over the course of the agreement, the union called that "absolutely false," citing a discrepancy in whether expansion fees are factored.
