WNBA didn't make any offers to WNBPA at the CBA meeting

Annie Costabile of Front Office Sports says that the back and forth lasted about three hours. Cathy Engelbert was in charge of the WNBA and Nneka Ogwumike of the Seattle Storm Brianna Turner of the Indiana Fever and Stefanie Dolson of the Washington Mystics were in charge of the WNBPA.

Costabile said that even though there was a long debate the WNBA still didn't respond to the WNBA's proposal from December. The plan asked for a maximum pay of $1.3 million a salary ceiling of about $10.5 million and other changes to the league's revenue sharing model.

"The WNBA didn't respond to the players' proposal at the meeting on Monday. Costabile stated, "Instead the league told the union on Monday that it would start working on an official response to their proposal."

The WNBPA chose not to be part of the current CBA in 2024 ending the pact that was meant to last until 2027. Before the season starts in May the two sides need to come to an agreement on a new one. If not a number of players have said they are ready to go on strike which would put the WNBA in a lockout.

"After today's meeting, it's still on the table." Clark added, "Until we hear back from the league about proposals, there's nothing we can negotiate or go back and forth on that even makes sense to ask, 'Okay, what does a strike look like?'"

The WNBA and the WNBPA are at a very important point right now. If they don't reach a good agreement soon the league's growth will stop.
