If there is one piece of good news from over the past couple weeks, it\u2019s that there is no work stoppage. WNBA team owners haven\u2019t locked out the players, a situation that until very recently seemed to be the more likely bet. And the players didn\u2019t go on strike. Therefore, that\u2019s good news. To be exact, there is a 30 day extension on CBA talks, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bulletsforever.com\/mystics\/66062\/2026-wnba-draft-lottery-date-time\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2026 WNBA Draft Lottery will be on Nov. 23.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Still, we wanted to give you a couple links to some resources on what is at stake with the WNBA and the WNBPA. They are:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I would say that either way, WNBA players will receive much larger salaries and benefits given the league\u2019s new media deal which kicks in next year. However, the degree of these increases and the revenue share split will likely be the sticking points on just how well received the next CBA will be by the players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As you are aware, the WNBA and WNBPA (the players union) is still negotiating the terms of a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":285038,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,737,630],"class_list":{"0":"post-285037","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-washington-mystics","12":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
