Message: [QUOTE="awhom111, post: 4547288, member: 8683"] She is choosing to sit out the season, but she is not subject to prioritization due to not being in the league long enough. She is under contract so if she was late, the team would have to carry her salary on the cap even if they were not paying her so both sides seemed to think that this was for the best. She has also battled injuries all season so some extended rest would probably help her. Meesseman is different in the sense that she would have to avoid being with the Belgian national team in May if she wants to play in the WNBA this year, regardless of whether she has signed a contract. European stars generally feel that they are disrespecting their national team teammates by not participating in as much of pre-tournament training as possible. [/QUOTE]
