Someone needs to tell the W to stop wasting time, give the players what they are asking (they’re actually negotiating too) and let’s move forward. This is beyond enough. The players are talking the next 10 years not the last 10. Pay them what they’re projected to make.

Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers are currently the leading scorers for Team USA. They have both scored 37 points each. Paige Bueckers has scored those points in less minutes though even with her start against Puerto Rico. Paige has played 58 minutes total while Clark has played 60.

A source confirmed to USA TODAY that negotiations started around 1PM today. So, currently 8 hours and counting in on the fifth straight day of marathon meetings.

Day 5 of marathon WNBA CBA talks: Negotiations are about eight hours in, with Nneka Ogwumike telling us earlier that revenue share and housing are ideally going to be hammered out today. (Recurring guest @realbachscore.bsky.social also made an appearance!)

This video is super interesting from Jackie Powell. She brought up a ton of new points: 1. Today is the day that the W and PA have been ironing out revenue sharing. youtu.be/m1OM3Cu7_6c?...

Curt Miller is currently in Puerto Rico watching potential number 1 pick Awa Fam play. She has 8 points and 1 rebound at half.

Patiently waiting for that nightly CBA update 👀

This is really the man we have representing the Wings as the main television broadcaster? Honestly, shameful.

Paige Bueckers finished today's game against Italy with: 12 points 1 rebound 1 steal 1 block 23 minutes played

I'm a big fan of Clark and Bueckers on the floor at the same time.

As negotiations stretch into Day 5, WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike told reporters on site revenue share and housing are taking center stage. The latest: frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-tal...

We just spoke with Nneka Ogwumike and got a vibe check about today. This was the major takeaway.

Nneka Ogwumike told us the biggest things on the agenda today are to nail down rev share & housing. This comes after both sides spent a lot of time the past few days working through the more ancillary issues. "There's still work to do, but ultimately we want to get this done."

Seems like the most important issues on the table are going to be discussed today. Not surprised that they ironed out the minor details the last few days.

ICYMI: Here’s what we know as Day 5 of marathon negotiations unfolds, including eyeing a Monday deadline to get a new CBA in place.

Cathy Engelbert just spoke with the media, reiterating that progress has been made, including on a lot of smaller issues. There's urgency to try to get a deal done by Monday, she said, to avoid any disruption to the preseason schedule, including training camp and preseason games

“I’ve never been a betting woman in my life and I’m not going to start now, but we have to get a deal by Monday." WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert stressed urgency in order to avoid disrupting the preseason calendar. frontofficesports.com/marathon-cba...

Asked whether a deal will be reached by Monday, Engelbert said: “Cathy Engelbert’s opinion, yes.” frontofficesports.com/marathon-cba...

Some people have asked and the reason Luisa Geiselsoder is not playing for Germany in the FIBA WC Qualifying Tournament is because she suffered an injury she is currently rehabbing. She will not play in this tournament.

How is everyone feeling about CBA negotiations?

Good morning! The WNBPA and WNBA are meeting for the fifth straight day for negotiations.

Pay The WNBA Players.

Both sides appear to be closer to a deal than ever. I am hopeful for a verbal agreement by the end of the weekend.

WNBPA executive director Terri Carmichael Jackson said, in part: "Movement is still the word. As long as movement keeps us going in a forward direction, then I think we're good." @AnnieCostabile

On the league side it looks very likely that Monday is the new target date. Expect both sides to meet throughout the weekend.

WNBA CBA negotiations Day 4 LATEST: WNBPA vice president Napheesa Collier just arrived on site. Players in the room are now Collier, VP Breanna Stewart and Pres. Nneka Ogwumike.

Vice President Naphessa Collier seen wheeling suitcase into negotiations.

Said a salary system "tied to revenue in a meaningful way" remains a top priority On how far apart they are on rev share still: "The continued conversations have helped us chip away at what the concerns are for both sides and how we meet them, how we address them."

Terri Carmichael Jackson just spoke with reporters on site. She said movement is still the word on Day Four of these marathon CBA negotiations. "I think the league, and particularly the commissioner and her team, have heard that transformational remains the goal."
