WNBA Statement Regarding the Start of the 2020 Regular Season
April 3, 2020
NEW YORK, April 3, 2020 – WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert released the
following statement:
“As developments continue to emerge around the COVID-19 pandemic, including
the extension of the social distancing guidelines in the United States
through April 30, the WNBA will postpone the start of its training camps and
tip of the regular season originally scheduled for May 15. While the league
continues to use this time to conduct scenario-planning regarding new start
dates and innovative formats, our guiding principle will continue to be the
health and safety of the players, fans and employees.
In the meantime, the league and our teams remain focused on preparing for the
upcoming virtual WNBA Draft 2020 presented by State Farm on April 17. Top
prospects will take part remotely live on ESPN with coverage beginning at 7
p.m. ET. This virtual draft allows players who have worked so hard to have
their dreams realized when they hear their names called and provides teams
the opportunity to build their rosters in anticipation of the day that we are
able to move forward with our season.
We continue to send our thoughts and prayers to our players, fans, and all of
those in the community impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and are grateful to
those selfless health care workers and first responders who work tirelessly
on the front lines.”
