WNBA Players and League at Impasse Over New CBA; Players Seek Revenue-Based Salary SystemThe Womens National Basketball Association (WNBA) and its players association are in a standstill over a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The current agreement expires at the end of this month, following a thirty-day extension. The leagues latest proposal, which includes revenue sharing and a maximum salary of $1.1 million for multiple players, has been met with resistance from the players. They argue that the proposal does not allow salaries to grow sufficiently with the leagues business and seek a more flexible, revenue-based system, similar to the mens NBA. Tensions between the league and players have been high, with Lynx superstar Napheesa Collier publicly criticizing Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the leagues officiating. With the players association feeling the latest offer falls short, a new deal seems far from being reached, and the WNBA is hoping to avoid any potential work stoppage or player strike.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
