Secured New CBA Deal for NBA Players Following Round-the-Clock Negotiating Sessions with NBA

Delivered a win for NBA players and fans on April 1, 2023, in assisting NBPA to reach a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the NBA that will provide for at least six more years of mutually beneficial labor peace.

We have represented the NBPA for many years, including in the prior collective bargaining negotiations in 2017. The CBA resulting from those negotiations was set to expire at the end of the 2022-23 season if the NBA exercised its “opt-out” right by March 31, which the NBA said it would do if a new CBA was not agreed upon by the deadline. The agreement in principle was reached at 3:00 a.m. on April 1 after the opt-out deadline was extended a few hours past midnight after round-the-clock negotiating sessions with the NBA.
