SIGN UP NOWMore than a month after WNBA players demanded more pay at All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis, collective bargaining agreement negotiations between league officials and the players association haven’t made much progress.
With the October 31 deadline inching closer, some players on Thursday expressed frustration with the current tenor of discussions, including the Liberty forward Breanna Stewart, who said, in part, “It doesn’t feel like there’s a sense of urgency,” from the league.
Meanwhile, the WNBA reiterated in a statement provided to The Post that its “number one priority is to get a new collective bargaining agreement completed that addresses the players’ priorities while also supporting the long-term growth and success of the league and teams.”
While Stewart was sidelined by injury earlier this month, the Liberty star, who is also WNBPA vice president, had the rare opportunity to attend an in-person CBA meeting.
