Free agency put on hold as WNBA and WNBPA sign moratorium after missing January 9 extension deadline

The WNBA and WNBPA have entered a moratorium on league business after failing to agree on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The deadline for the new CBA was January 9. This halt affects free agency and qualifying offers, with former CBA rules remaining in place. Players, led by Napheesa Collier, remain united and are awaiting the league’s response to their proposals.
