The WNBA and WNBPA agreed Thursday to a 30-day extension of the current collective bargaining agreement through Nov. 30, league sources confirmed.
The current CBA was set to expire Friday, a scenario that would have opened the door to a possible strike by players or lockout initiated by owners.
ESPN reported Tuesday that the WNBA had offered the players’ association the extension of the CBA. The extension follows a similar path to the most recent round of CBA negotiations after the 2019 season, when the two sides agreed to a 60-day extension before agreeing to a new deal in January 2020.
