In this episode of Sideline Stories, the Can't Retire From This crew gets real about one of the hardest pills to swallow in the WNBA: being waived.

From rookies with promising college careers to vets battling injuries and roster cuts, the crew also unpacks the emotional and professional toll of not making the final squad. They name names, shout out players who deserved more time, and even get personal about their own near-misses (and flexes) on the court. They also dig into what it really takes to make a W roster—and why some of it might be out of your control.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever been cut, doubted, or told they weren’t ready.
