In his experience with labor negotiations, NBA commissioner Adam Silver knows that these things often come down to the proverbial 11th hour — something, he admitted Saturday, that the WNBA is awfully close to approaching. And while he’s not ready to set a drop-dead date for when the WNBA and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association need to agree to a new collective bargaining agreement, Silver admitted that “what I’d love to accomplish is putting pressure on everybody. ” “I’m encouraged there has been more back and forth over the past few weeks,” Silver said during his press conference at All-Star Weekend.
