WNBA CBA negotiations: Three paths forward with WNBPA, league reportedly unlikely to agree to deal by deadline

The WNBA and the WNBPA (Women's National Basketball Association Players Association) are currently in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA). The current CBA is set to expire on September 30th, and the two sides are reportedly unlikely to reach an agreement by the deadline. There are three potential paths forward: 1. The WNBA and WNBPA agree to a short-term extension of the current CBA to allow more time for negotiations. 2. The WNBA and WNBPA agree to a new CBA, potentially with some compromises on key issues. 3. The WNBA and WNBPA fail to reach an agreement, leading to a work stoppage and the potential for missed games. It's important to note that the WNBA has never lost games due to a work stoppage, and both sides are committed to reaching an agreement that benefits the league, the players, and the fans.
