Is the NBA’s Fast Pace Injuring Its Players? | Why Was Ronaldo at the White House?

Amid their contentious labor negotiations with players, the WNBA’s latest proposal would, for the first time, include a player max salary exceeding $1 million. FOS women's sports reporter Annie Costabile breaks down the latest offer and whether players might be satisfied with the offer before the Nov. 30 deadline. Meanwhile, in the past week, NBA stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Wembanyama have been sidelined with injuries, leading Warriors coach Steve Kerr to say he’s “very concerned” that the NBA’s increased pace of play and condensed 82-game schedule are causing an increase in player injuries. FOS reporter Colin Salao crunches the injury numbers and discusses whether the NBA would ever shorten its season to protect the players. Plus, we introduce you to Kelsie Whitmore, the Savannah Bananas pitcher who is projected to be the No. 1 pick in the first Women's Professional Baseball League draft. And editor-in-chief Dan Roberts joins Baker Machado at the FOS Watercooler to discuss why Cristiano Ronaldo was at the White House this week while President Donald Trump hosted Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and the latest on Stephen Curry’s sneaker free agency after he was spotted wearing both Nike and Reebok.
