WNBA Rookies to Begin Receiving Health Benefits This Week

NEW YORK (AP) — WNBA rookies will start receiving health benefits this week. League Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said that the benefits will begin Friday. Medical benefits usually are offered once training camp starts. With camps delayed indefinitely because of the coronavirus pandemic, first-year players will now be covered. The commissioner says WNBA veterans, who already receive year-round health benefits, will not have any break in their coverage.
