"Obviously, we'd hoped that we would be a lot farther along than we are, because it's been about [15] months at this point, but at the same time, we have to stay strong in what our values are and what we're standing for. The players feel really united right now. We're waiting for the league to come back, and we're not going to accept a bad deal. We're waiting for the league to come back and respond to our thought"
""We know what we're asking for," Collier told ESPN on Thursday. "We know that it's not too much, like they're saying.""
The WNBA collective bargaining agreement expires at 11:59 p.m. ET Friday, after the WNBPA opted out of the previous CBA in October 2024 and 15 months without a new deal. The league and players will likely enter a status-quo period that allows continued negotiations, preserves player benefits and permits a work stoppage or lockout without notice. Negotiations have produced minimal progress. Players express unity, insist their demands are reasonable, refuse to accept a bad deal and await a substantive response from the league while defending union solidarity and continued involvement in other leagues as nonconflicting.
