NEW YORK (AP) — The WNBA and its players' union met at a hotel Tuesday to continue discussions on reaching a new collective bargaining agreement, with a deadline to get the season started on time at hand.

The meeting comes on a day that the league has said at least a handshake agreement on a labor deal would need to be done to start the season as scheduled.

Geno Smith returns to Jets as career comes full circle in trade with Las Vegas, AP source says
