WNBA and WNBPA Reach Tentative Deal On Historic Collective Bargaining Agreement

@JustEsBaraheni Congrats! Proud of you bro 🙌🏽

Had a really cool night at the Toronto Short Film Festival where a film I starred in premiered. Was a lot of fun. To many more.

Toronto’s Dalmar Ali will live out a dream of coaching in the NCAA tournament, making history as the first Somali. He’ll do it with 5 Canadian players he recruited to Long Island. “Everything is possible if you put your mind to it.” My latest: thestar.com/sports/basketb…

Some new details as we learn more about this new CBA: The salary cap set to top $10 million by end of the agreement. The new deal will also be a seven-year deal with an opt-out after year six. espn.com/wnba/story/_/i…

The @TheWNBPA DID THAT 💰

WNBA players avoided signing contracts past the 2025 season so they could take advantage of the higher salaries allowed in the new CBA. Which means that other than those on rookie-scale contracts, only two players are on contracts The rest of the league will be free agents.

Key dates now that the WNBA has a new CBA 🏀 ◽️ April 6: Two expansion drafts ◽️ April 7–11: FA negotiation period ◽️ April 12–18: FA signing period ◽️ April 13: WNBA Draft ◽️ April 19: Training camp opens ◽️ May 8: Opening Night 💫

Chiney: It’s not just the money that matters here, stay tuned the next few days, next week or so, for facilities, retirement benefits, family planning benefits, housing. There are going to be other things that are truly historic .

Details of a landmark WNBA collective bargaining agreement, per ESPN sources: - New salary cap starting at $7 million, up from $1.5 million - Average revenue share of nearly 20% across deal - Supermax starting at $1.4M - Average salary in range of $600K, minimum above $300K

Over 70 WNBA players will be unrestricted free agents 😳 The whole league could look different this season 😯 (h/t @ariivory)

@RaptorsShaq @lotabendiciones Beasley has concurrent investigations by NBA + FBI on him. NBA cleared him of any wrongdoing on bets placed on other sports but league case still isn’t closed. He’s still being investigated by FBI. Pistons president reportedly said NBA investigation still ongoing 2 weeks ago.

@lotabendiciones Malik was cleared tho

It's actually insane that the Raptors have an open roster spot, a DNP guy like Mogbo filling a spot, and a career 40% shooter like Malik Beasley is a free agent How is Bobby not putting the pieces together?
