The WNBA submitted a new collective bargaining agreement proposal on Friday that would guarantee housing for all players in 2026 before it is phased out for subsequent years of the deal, sources told ESPN on Saturday. Friday's counterproposal came three days after the Women's National Basketball Players Association responded to the league's previous proposal, a flurry of negotiation following a six-week statement and with the league's May 8 regular season start date approaching. Under the league's new proposal, after 2026, players on their applicable minimum salary and those with zero years of service would be provided a one-bedroom apartment in 2027 and 2028 only. Developmental players would be provided studio apartments for the entirety of the deal.
