The 2024 WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) introduces a groundbreaking 'game cadence' provision to enhance player welfare. Key changes include: (1) Mandatory consultation with the league's Medical Director and Players Association when drafting schedules; (2) At least 20 hours between back-to-back regular-season games; (3) 48-hour rest between playoff games in different locations, 36 hours for same-location games, and 48 hours between playoff series. This marks a significant improvement over the 2020 CBA, which lacked such protections.
