Three of the WNBA's biggest young stars in Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Paige Bueckers are a confirmed part of the players' CBA fight.

The WNBA, much like the NBA, is quickly being built on the backs of superstars. Angel Reese, A'ja Wilson, Caitlin Clark, and Paige Bueckers are ushering the WNBA into its most successful era, and the players are looking to capitalize on it.

All eyes are on the WNBA as the best players gather in Indiana for the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game. One of the main items on the agenda: CBA negotiations.

While the current CBA expires on October 31 of this year, that doesn't mean that all is lost if no deal for the next CBA is made by that point. And given how far both sides seem at this point, there certainly seems to be a chance that negotiations continue deep into the league's offseason.

If a new contract deal isn't reached by October, some players, including all-star Angel Reese, have mentioned the potential for a walkout.

Over the past three days, Indianapolis was taken over by the league and its legions of new fans. The players, now global superstars, were mobbed everywhere they went. Downtown, the JW Marriott was covered in a giant Caitlin Clark banner that covered 30 of the hotel's 34 stories and took nine days to install, per Scott Agness .

As commisioner Cathy Engelbert spoke, players took the floor wearing shirts that read “Pay Us What You Owe Us.”

CBA is Article VII: “Salary Cap, Minimum Team Salary, Tax Level, Apron Levels, and Draft Pick Penalty.” In previous CBAs, NBA teams have been restricted in their player spending by only two “soft” ceilings: the Salary Cap and the Tax Level.
