The Bottom Line
WNBA reaches tentative labor deal linking player salaries to league revenue, allowing some athletes to earn up to $1 million.
AI Summary
The WNBA and its players' union have reached a tentative collective bargaining agreement just 51 days before the season begins. Under the new deal, player salaries would for the first time be directly tied to league revenue, potentially allowing some athletes to earn up to $1 million annually. The agreement reflects the league's recent growth and represents a significant shift in how compensation is structured. The deal must still be ratified by both sides before it takes effect. This pact avoids a work stoppage that could have disrupted the upcoming season.
