The WNBA CBA situation just took another concerning turn.. the league still has not formally responded to the players’ most recent proposal, even as the season timeline continues to shrink.

In this episode of Courtside Club, Rachel DeMita breaks down the latest reporting surrounding the in-person meeting between the WNBA and the WNBPA, why the lack of a response from the league is becoming a major red flag, and how internal disagreement among player leadership could impact the path forward. With expansion drafts, free agency, training camp, and preseason already looming, the margin for error is disappearing fast.

We also discuss what this silence means for the 2026 WNBA season, how public messaging is shaping fan sentiment, and why this moment may determine whether the league’s recent momentum is sustainable or at serious risk.

Rachel DeMita breaks down the biggest basketball stories of the day, starting with Caitlin Clark’s debut as an NBA analyst on NBC and the record-setting Lakers vs. Knicks ratings that followed.

She looks at what Clark’s presence meant for the broadcast, why NBC plans to bring her back, and the growing speculation around her potentially working with Steph Curry’s shooting coach. Then we dive into the WNBA CBA, including leaked proposal details, projected salary increases, and the ongoing disconnect between the league and players over revenue sharing and benefits.

Rachel also reacts to Breanna Stewart’s recent podcast comments about the CBA, Unrivaled, and the tension players are navigating as negotiations continue.
