Eva Montgomery Out Indefinitely After ACL Injury

This has raised the stakes for athletes trying to balance multiple commitments in different leagues, with little protection if something goes wrong.

The tension between the women’s pro league and this new off-shoot opportunity is becoming more pronounced.

Montgomery’s injury could further complicate the already sensitive issue of player safety and contract negotiations.

As the women’s league approaches its next round of CBA talks, the issue of injuries sustained while playing for rival leagues is expected to be a key point of discussion.

Players may demand stronger guarantees from the league—especially in terms of compensation and job security—if they are injured while participating in off-season competitions.

With the current CBA negotiations on the horizon, Montgomery’s injury could have far-reaching consequences for the future of the league and its players.

As it stands, the league’s stance on injuries sustained in the off-season could become a bargaining chip in upcoming talks, with players seeking more protections and assurances for their careers beyond just the regular season.

For now, Montgomery’s focus will be on her recovery, but the broader implications of this injury will be felt throughout the basketball world.
