The National Women's Basketball Association (WNBA) is currently discussing a new version of the collective bargaining agreement with the players' union, but Minnesota Bobcats star forward Currier said on the 12th Beijing time that the player does not rule out the possibility of suspension.

WNBA players are dissatisfied with low salaries and are considering suspensions

The WNBA players' union said last year that it would end the old collective bargaining agreement early after this season, giving the union time to negotiate with the league and reach a new agreement by October 31 this year at the latest.

Chicago Sky star Lees hinted on her radio in early March that Carrington, the Dallas Wings' Most Improved of the Year award last season, could suspend the players if the new collective bargaining agreement fails to meet the requirements.

With the emergence of young stars like Lees, Clarke, and others, the WNBA's expansion has accelerated over the past few years, but player salaries are still low. This season, veterans of more than three years in the WNBA have an annual base salary of only $78,831, and the highest annual salary is only nearly $250,000. Former WNBA star Ogumac pointed out that the proportion of player income in the WNBA is only 10%, compared to the NBA players who can earn 50% of the league's revenue.

Currier said in an exclusive interview with CBS on the 12th that the WNBA does not seek the same level of salary as the NBA, but hopes to have the same proportion of league income dividends as the NBA.

There are still eight months left to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement, and it is difficult to say what will happen during this time, whether the WNBA will be suspended or not, and it is not certain. But Currier made it clear that "you're going to see the power shift to the players, and for the players, we have that power and we need to use it correctly in the new collective bargaining agreement." ”
