Overview
- An Associated Press report, citing a person familiar with the talks, says the league’s offer includes revenue sharing and a maximum salary topping $1.1 million that more than one player per team could earn, with amounts growing annually.
- The proposal sets a new minimum above $220,000 and an average salary above $460,000 beginning in year one for more than 180 players and increasing over the CBA term.
- The CBA, originally expiring Oct. 31, was extended 30 days to keep bargaining active through Nov. 30.
- Players opted out last year seeking a larger share of league revenues, higher salaries, improved benefits and a softer salary-cap structure.
- Coverage cites progress but notes a lockout remains possible if the sides cannot agree on revenue-sharing terms, with pay inequities spotlighted by Caitlin Clark’s reported sub-$86,000 salary next season.
