    HTH Episode 50: Offseason in Full Swing

    In the latest episode of Hitting the Hardwood, Mitchell Hansen dives into the WNBA offseason, what has taken place and what is to come. In a solo show (yes, we're sorry), Hansen discusses what has taken place across the league since the conclusion of the WNBA Finals, shifting to what is coming up on Dec. 7 with the WNBA Expansion Draft. He then dives into the six players Minnesota will likely protect in the Expansion Draft and what that could mean for players who are unprotected. To conclude, Hansen looks ahead to what will take place the rest of the offseason and specifically what will take place once the calendar year flips to 2025.  -- Sponsors Fantasy Sports EVO is a NEW way to play daily fantasy sports.
