The WNBA and WNBA Players Association agreed to an extension on the current CBA through Jan. 9, 2026, as they look to continue negotiations toward a new deal, the league announced. The agreement includes the option for either party to terminate the extension with 48 hours' advance notice. Both sides agreed to the extension shortly before their Sunday 11:59 p.m. ET deadline. The union proposed a six-week extension after initially discussing a 24-hour extension, sources said, while the league pushed for a 21-day one.
Minnesota Wild star forward Kirill Kaprizov signed the richest contract in NHL history in terms of total money and AAV on Tuesday. The eight-year, $136 million deal will see the 28-year-old Russian tied to the Twin Cities through the 2033-34 season and carries an AAV of $17 million. The agreement comes after weeks of reportedly tense contract negotiations where Kaprizov supposedly turned down an eight-year, $128 million extension and conflicting reports over whether the team asked for his preferred trade destinations in turn.
