What is WNBA Injury Insurance?

Sleeper’s WNBA Injury Insurance helps protect your player picks contest entries when a player is forced to leave a game early


Injury Insurance applies only when all of the following conditions are met:

  • The player is removed from the game in the first half

  • The player does not return in the second half


How Injury Insurance affects your picks

MORE picks

  • If you pick MORE on a player who meets the Injury Insurance criteria, that pick will be voided and treated as a DNP (Did Not Play).

LESS picks

  • If you pick LESS on a player who meets the Injury Insurance criteria, the pick will be graded as a win if the player’s recorded stat is below the projection.


How contests are settled

After Injury Insurance is applied:

  • If your contest still includes at least two players from multiple teams, it will be graded with an adjusted payout, as if the voided pick was never included.

  • If your contest no longer includes at least two players from multiple teams, the entire entry will be canceled and refunded.

Please allow up to 48 hours after the completion of a game for contests to be updated.


Additional Injury Insurance details

  • If you pick MORE and the player hits their projection before being injured, the pick will be graded as a win.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I picked a player who received limited minutes due to injury recovery. Can that pick be voided?

A: No. Injury Insurance only applies if a player is removed from the game and does not play in the second half. It does not apply to minutes restrictions.


Q: My player only played briefly at the end of a blowout. Will they be marked as DNP?

A: No. If a player logs any playing time in the second half, the pick will be graded as normal—regardless of how long they played
