Description

The WNBA Finals ended in a win for the Las Vegas Aces. It’s their third championship in four years. Now, attention in the league has turned to a different countdown.  


The players union and WNBA administrators contract expires at the end of October. Negotiations have been tough so far. Some players, most notably Lynx star Napheesa Collier, have gone public with their frustrations with leadership.  


Adam Minter has been thinking and writing about Collier’s role in this moment for the WNBA. He’s a sports business writer for Bloomberg Opinion, and is based in Minnesota. He joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about what Collier has said and what she’ll do next.
