"The moratorium is necessary because the sides failed to reach an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement or an extension by Friday's deadline. The sides continue to negotiate on a new CBA amid what's become a bitter impasse as they work toward what both sides acknowledge will be a transformative deal. The moratorium will halt the initial stages of free agency in which teams would seek to deliver qualifying offers and core designations to players."
"The WNBA and Women's National Basketball Players Association have reached an agreement on a moratorium for league business, sources told ESPN on Monday."
The WNBA and Women's National Basketball Players Association have implemented a moratorium on league business after negotiations failed to produce a new collective bargaining agreement or an extension by the Friday deadline. Negotiations remain ongoing amid a bitter impasse as both sides pursue what they describe as a transformative CBA. The moratorium pauses the initial stages of free agency, preventing teams from issuing qualifying offers and making core player designations. The pause preserves the status quo while bargaining continues and prevents unilateral free-agent moves before a new labor framework is finalized. The moratorium underscores the urgency and high stakes of talks that will reshape compensation, roster rules, and other league foundations.
