WNBA free agency (UPDATED May 22): Megan Gustafson, Kennedy Burke waived by the Dallas Wings

On what planet does the Naismith Women’s College Player of the Year and the Associated Press Women’s College Player of the Year not make a basketball team cut?
In the Women’s National Basketball Association, where veterans playing out lengthy careers collide with an influx of increasingly talented rookies through the WNBA Draft and occasional arrival of international players vying for roster spots.
With 12 teams each allowed 12 players, some of the best players in college basketball are left jobless come regular-season tipoff. Megan Gustafson (Iowa) — the Naismith Women’s College Player of the Year and the Associated Press Women’s College Player of the Year picked 17th overall in the 2019 WNBA Draft — and Kennedy Burke, picked 22nd overall out of UCLA, did not make the cut. Both were waived by the Dallas Wings on Wednesday, May 22.
Also not with teams heading into Friday’s tipoff of the WNBA season are Cierra Dillard (No. 20 overall out of Buffalo), Caliya Robinson (No. 28 overall out of Georgia) and Macy Miller (No. 26 overall out of South Dakota).
Meanwhile, players who were in the WNBA in 2018 are finding themselves jobless this season, too. A few players driven from their respective benches include Teana Muldrow (Seattle Storm) and Erlana Larkins (Minnesota Lynx).
The deadline for final rosters is Thursday, May 23. With the way things are going, other shocking cuts are inevitable and it is unlikely those currently packing their bags will find a place on other teams, barring injury to others.
