Landmark WNBA labor deal nears reality

sports basketball

The WNBA and its players’ union reached an agreement in principle on a new collective bargaining agreement early Wednesday morning, resolving a prolonged labor battle just 51 days before the league’s 30th season. The landmark deal will see huge increases in the salary cap, average wages, and minimum wages, resulting in the league’s first million-dollar players. Revenue sharing remains a key discussion point between the parties. Looking ahead, the WNBA has an ambitious to-do list including expansion drafts – notably for the Toronto Tempo – alongside the college draft and a significant free agent market.
