CBA talks resume as WNBA players warn of strike risk
As WNBA CBA negotiations resume, talks are at an impasse with a potential strike looming. A high-stakes in-person meeting in New York will bring WNBPA leaders like Nneka Ogwumike, Kelsey Plum, and Napheesa Collier together with league officials to push for a larger revenue share, a higher salary cap, and protections such as housing; Natasha Cloud publicly criticized the league’s approach. The union seeks roughly 30% of gross revenue and a $10.5M cap, vs. the league’s offer of around 15% of gross revenue (70% of net) and a $5M cap, while free agency remains on hold and the 2026 season approaches. The outcome could mark a turning point in negotiations.
