"Tony Snell's NBA Contract Deadline Passes Without Signing, Impact on Retirement Benefits"

NBA player Tony Snell is seeking to be signed by a team before the end of the season to qualify for the NBPA's premium medical plan, which provides healthcare benefits for him and his family. Snell, who has played nine seasons, is currently on a health insurance plan that covers medical, hospital, and prescription drug coverage. Several NBA teams have open roster spots available to sign Snell, but the upcoming trade deadline complicates his chances of getting signed.

Andre Iguodala Assumes Interim Leadership of NBPA as Tremaglio Resigns

National Basketball Players Association executive director Tamika Tremaglio has stepped down, allowing Andre Iguodala to become the union's acting executive director. A formal search for a permanent executive director will begin, and it remains to be seen if Iguodala will be a candidate. Tremaglio led the NBPA's negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement with the league before discussing her departure. Iguodala, who recently retired from the NBA, has been a member of the NBPA's executive committee since 2015.

Ja Morant's Suspension and Toy Gun Video Spark Controversy.

Ja Morant's 25-game suspension was due to his failure to meet certain conditions promised during a meeting with Commissioner Adam Silver in March. The NBPA objected to the vagueness of the conditions Morant must meet before resuming play. The Grizzlies will benefit from a third two-way player in the new CBA, with Vince Williams Jr.'s slot feeling safe. Kendric Davis has a workout scheduled with the Grizzlies this week.

The Controversial Suspension of NBA Star Ja Morant.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been suspended for 25 games by the NBA for flashing what appeared to be a gun on his friend's Instagram Live feed from the passenger seat of a moving car. The suspension comes after Morant had previously been suspended for eight games for wielding a gun in public while intoxicated. The National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) has called the punishment "excessive and inappropriate" and is exploring all options and next steps with Morant. The league's decision was influenced by the optics surrounding the incidents and the gun culture messaging, with the commissioner believing it was the league's responsibility to consider the societal ramifications of Morant's social media habits.

NBA and NBPA reach new collective bargaining agreement.

The NBA and NBPA have agreed on a new seven-year collective bargaining agreement, which includes a mutual opt-out after the sixth year. The deal curbs the ability of the highest-spending teams to continue running up salary and luxury tax spending while creating more spending and trade opportunities for teams at the middle and lower spectrum of spending. The NBA is also tying eligibility for postseason awards to a mandatory 65 games played and implementing an in-season tournament starting in the 2023-24 season. The upper limits on extensions have also been increased from a 120% increase on a current deal to 140%.

NBA and Players Association Reach 7-Year Labor Agreement.

The NBA and NBPA have reached a tentative agreement on a new seven-year collective bargaining agreement that includes an in-season tournament and a minimum game requirement for major end-of-season awards. The new CBA will begin in the 2023-24 season and run through the 2029-30 season unless either side opts out after the 2028-29 season. The agreement also establishes a new luxury tax level and increases the upper limits on veteran players' contract extensions. Marijuana will no longer be prohibited under the new deal, but the league's "one-and-done" rule will not be changed.

NBA and NBPA Stand Firm on Minimum Draft Age in CBA Negotiations

The NBA and NBPA have stopped discussions surrounding lowering the minimum age for players from 19 to 18 amid their negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement. Neither side felt strongly enough on the issue to make a change, and NBA owners and executives were largely indifferent or fully against scouting high school players again. The NBA last increased the minimum draft age to 19 in 2005, and players can play on the G League Ignite team right out of high school instead of playing in college.

NBA to Opt Out of CBA if Deadline Missed, NBPA Disappointed.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver announced that the league intends to opt out of the current collective bargaining agreement on Friday if a mutually agreed-upon deadline isn't met, a decision the NBPA called "disappointing." The NBA and NBPA are in the midst of negotiating a new CBA that would take effect when the current expires after the 2023-24 season. The two sides previously agreed to a deadline of Friday at midnight that would allow either side to opt out of the current CBA effective June 30.
