\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tby Cedric ‘BIG CED’ Thornton <\/a><\/p>\n November 19, 2025<\/p>\n The minimum salary of more than $220,000 is being offered with the average player salary exceeding $460,000<\/p>\n As the WNBA\u00a0negotiates<\/a>\u00a0with its players on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for next season and beyond, reports indicate the proposed minimum salary would start at more than $220,000, with a maximum topping out at more than $1.1 million.<\/p>\n According to\u00a0The Athletic, after\u00a0extending the current CBA<\/a>\u00a0to negotiate a new contract (the latest deadline is Nov. 30), sources close to the talks say league officials have informed the league\u2019s board of governors of the details that WNBA team owners discussed in New York City this week. Along with the minimum salary of more than $220,000 annually, the average player salary would exceed $460,000. The salary numbers would increase each year under the proposal.<\/p>\n This would increase the current maximum salary of around $250,000.<\/p>\n The latest numbers are more than the previously proposed maximum salary of around\u00a0$850,000. The two sides are slated to meet on Nov. 19.<\/p>\n Before the CBA was supposed to end in October,\u00a0Napheesa Collier, the Vice President of the Women\u2019s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA), had\u00a0already stated<\/a>\u00a0that the players were seeking \u201ctwo main points\u201d in the new CBA: increased revenue sharing and salary structures.<\/p>\n NBA commissioner, Adam Silver, while appearing on the\u00a0Today\u00a0show in October, stated that the players will get increased salaries in the future, although he refrained from agreeing that the increase should not be based on \u201cshare.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, I think \u2018share\u2019 isn\u2019t the right way to look at it because there\u2019s so much more revenue in the NBA. You should look at it in absolute numbers in terms of what they\u2019re making. They are going to get a big increase in this cycle of collective bargaining. And they deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n The revenue sharing between WNBA players and NBA players is drastically different.<\/p>\n Market Watch\u00a0reported that WNBA players\u00a0receive<\/a>\u00a09.3% of their income from the league, as opposed to NBA players getting about 50% of their league\u2019s income.<\/p>\n
