Los Angeles Sparks center Cameron Brink has never been shy about saying what she thinks, and she wasn’t going to stop now.
During a recent episode of her podcast, Brink ripped the WNBA’s current roster sizes. The league’s current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) prevents teams from signing more than 12 players. Moreover, most teams don’t carry the full 12 due to salary cap constraints and flexibility in case of injuries. As you can imagine, that creates some brutal cuts when teams have to reach the limit ahead of the WNBA season.

“Personally, I think roster sizes need to be expanded before we add any more expansion teams,” Brink said. “It’s kind of crazy. Twelve people for a roster? It’s insane.”
Brink’s guest for the episode, former Oregon Duck DeJa Kelly, who had her own recent experience with the horrid realities of WNBA roster cuts, nodded in agreement as Brink and co-host Sydel Curry-Lee shared their thoughts. “And it just puts a lot of stress on everybody,” the Sparks center continued. “Roster sizes really need to be increased.”
Unfortunately, what Brink is referring to isn’t a new issue for the WNBA. Fingers crossed that the new CBA helps to alleviate some of the pains of roster construction.
