The players had opted out of their existing CBA last October, seeking better revenue sharing, higher salaries, increased profits, and a more flexible salary cap.<\/p>\n<p>WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike expressed encouragement about the strong turnout and engagement from players, emphasizing that continued dialogue is essential to making progress.
