## Resource

The WNBA just went through ANOTHER player purge, and the Portland Fire are right at the center of it. Sug Sutton, Haley Jones, and Kamiah Smalls are OUT, while Holly Winterburn and Frieda Bühner are IN. Why now? It all comes down to the new 2026 CBA developmental contract deadline, and I’m breaking down what it means for the league. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
