2025 WNBA All-Star game, resulting in a lopsided 151-131 win by Team Collier. <\/a>On Tuesday, Breanna Stewart said a longer All-Star break would result in a more competitive environment.<\/p>\n“If we want the product in the All-Star Game to be better, then we have to have more time in between the games,” Stewart said on Tuesday. “There’s no way that you’re going to have a super competitive All-Star game with a Liberty game on Tuesday.”<\/p>\n
Last year, WNBA teams got\u00a0nearly a month off after the 2024 All-Star game between Team WNBA and the U.S. women’s national basketball team to accommodate for the 2024 Paris Olympics. With no Olympics on the schedule for this year, the All-Star ‘break’ is less than a week. The Liberty, for example, played their last game on Wednesday and open the second half of the season six days later against the Indiana Fever on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Stewart isn’t the only player to share this sentiment. Clark said players \u201cwould appreciate a longer break.”<\/p>\n
Sabrina Ionescu had some thoughts on the CBA that is quickly taking over the discourse around the league. Adding that she is confident a deal will get done, the Liberty had this to say ahead of the game against the Fever:<\/p>\n
“I think that’s something, we’re really talking about trying to really kind of put our best minds together and figuring out what that looks like on revenue share, on valuation, on new teams coming in, and how that impacts, everything I feel like we’re just bringing in a bunch of new teams, crazy buy-ins of $200 million. How does that, how is that reflected in our salaries, as well as the league continues to gain more and more?”<\/p>\n
