WNBA Draft Arrives With Little Progress on Pay Hike Talks

With the WNBA season a month away, the players union is still waiting for the league to engage in substantial talks on a new contract after the sport’s popularity surged.

The union presented an outline for a collective bargaining agreement in December that included significantly higher salaries, but the league hasn’t responded to it, according to sources from both sides of the negotiations who asked not to be named because the talks are private.
