WNBA and Players Union Decide Not to Extend CBA Deadline, Continue Negotiations

The Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) and the players’ union have decided not to extend their negotiation deadline, which is set for Friday. Discussions will continue under the existing terms of their current agreement.

Key points of contention remain regarding revenue sharing, with the league and the union significantly divided over whether players should receive 30% of gross revenue or 70% of net revenue.

These ongoing negotiations could potentially delay the start of the season, free agency, and the expansion draft. However, the union has emphasized that a strike is still considered a last-resort option for the players.
