NBA Players approve new collective bargaining agreement

The votes are in, and labor peace in the NBA is virtually assured for several years.

The National Basketball Players Association has completed its process of voting to approve the terms of the next collective bargaining agreement between the league and its players, which was tentatively agreed upon last week. All that’s left to do now is for the sides to sign the deal, which will happen once the writing of the actual document is completed.

Members of the NBA’s Board of Governors voted unanimously Wednesday to approve the deal, and players got their vote done subsequently.
