"New details trickled out Tuesday night: The league's latest proposal, initially reported by The Associated Press and confirmed by ESPN, includes revenue sharing with a maximum salary of more than $1.1 million starting in 2026, with a league minimum of more than $220,000 and average of more than $460,000. It remains unclear what the players think of this proposal and whether it moves the needle ahead of the new Nov. 30 deadline. The union did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday night."
"What if labor uncertainty reigns? The longer both sides go without a deal, the greater the ramifications will be. And without an agreement in sight, damages are beginning to mount. "The basketball calendar is already at the point where it's going to be impacted. They're already there," a source told ESPN. "And when it comes to things like renewals and partnership opportunities, sitting here with an uncertain labor negotiation, it's already having an impact on the basketball calendar and the business.""
League owners, presidents, general managers and coaches met in New York amid ongoing collective bargaining talks with the WNBPA and a Nov. 30 deadline. The league proposed revenue sharing and a salary structure that would set a maximum salary above $1.1 million beginning in 2026, a minimum above $220,000, and an average above $460,000. Player reaction to the proposal has not been disclosed. Labor uncertainty is already affecting the basketball calendar, player and business renewals, and partnership opportunities. Players prioritized salary structure and revenue share when they opted out of the current CBA in October 2024, and meaningful increases remain central to negotiations.
