Unrivaled\u2019s first season was successful, but the second season, which starts in January, is \u201cexpected to gain even more attention<\/a> as it introduces new players and teams, and overlaps with the ongoing WNBA collective bargaining agreement negotiations,\u201d according to Maggie Vanoni of the NEW HAVEN REGISTER. Many of the WNBPA leaders will be participating in Unrivaled this winter, \u201cmaking its campus in Miami a new focal point as negotiations continue.\u201d Breeze G Paige Bueckers said having \u201ca lot of very strong women\u201d in one area is \u201creally important.\u201d She added they \u201cwant to take full advantage of that\u201d and \u201ccontinue to stand firm on what we believe we deserve and have earned.\u201d WNBA CBA negotiations remain ongoing, and having that much star power in one place at one time is \u201cbeneficial\u201d to the WNBA\u2019s player union. Unrivaled co-founder and Lunar Owls F Napheesa Collier said, \u201cIt\u2019s so much easier to talk to someone in person right here than to send off a text or try to connect over Zoom.\u201d The current WNBA CBA expired Oct. 31 and extended the deadline again through Jan. 9<\/a>. Both sides could \u201cagree to keep extending the extension deadline until an agreement is met.\u201d However, the later the CBA is resolved, the \u201cbigger the impact on the WNBA\u2019s 2026 season schedule\u201d (NEW HAVEN REGISTER, 12\/26<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Unrivaled\u2019s first season was successful, but the second season, which starts in January, is \u201cexpected to gain even…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":307109,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[1339,62,67,132,3506,68,232,1707],"class_list":{"0":"post-481741","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-unrivaled","13":"tag-us","14":"tag-wnba","15":"tag-womens-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115812670186963163","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481741\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
