WNBA Union Sends Counterproposal to League

The WNBA players' union sent a counterproposal to the league Friday, addressing key differences in revenue sharing and housing for a new collective bargaining agreement.

The union proposed 26% of gross revenue and a salary cap around $9.5 million, making slight concessions on revenue sharing compared to their last offer. They also adjusted their housing request, asking teams to provide housing for all players in the first few years, though teams would not be required to house top earners later in the deal.

The league previously offered over 70% of net revenue. Negotiators aim to finalize the agreement by March 10 to ensure the season starts on time.
