The WNBA Players Association (WNBPA) has opted out of the current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the league, starting the clock for a new deal to be agreed upon and ratified.  What does it all mean?

On the heels of a landmark season, WNBA players are expected to focus on salaries and long-term benefits such as pensions in their negotiations.

The Women's National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) announced Monday it is opting out of its collective bargaining agreement with the WNBA. The current CBA was set to expire in 2027 and will still be in effect until Oct. 31, 2025. However, the two sides have a year to come to an agreement to avoid a lockout.
