NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has expressed confidence in reaching a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) players. While acknowledging some relationship issues that need to be addressed, Silver stated that the economics of the deal are a priority. The current WNBA CBA is set to expire after the 2021 season, and negotiations are underway to establish a new agreement. Silver recognized the importance of addressing the players' concerns, including compensation, working conditions, and the overall relationship between the league and its athletes. The WNBA has been seeking improvements in areas such as travel accommodations, salaries, and marketing support. Silver's comments suggest a willingness to work collaboratively with the players' union to find a mutually beneficial solution, as the league aims to continue the growth and development of women's professional basketball.
