Report: WNBA, players association not close on CBA as deadline looms

With just over a week remaining until the Jan. 9 deadline for a new WNBA collective bargaining agreement, the league and the Women's National Basketball Players Association are not close to a deal, ESPN reported on Wednesday.

Sources: WNBA, union far apart ahead of deadline

While sources said the WNBA is projecting that a recent proposal from the WNPBA would result in $700 million in losses over the course of the agreement, the union called that "absolutely false," citing a discrepancy in whether expansion fees are factored.
