At the end of a tumultuous season, including a midseason coaching change and two season-ending injuries, the Sky made a pivotal move in their efforts to stabilize the franchise’s foundation by signing 2021 Finals MVP Kahleah Copper to a two-year extension.
Terms of the extension include the veteran supermax, $241,984 in Year 1, according to Copper’s agent, Zack Miller, and $248,134 in Year 2. The league’s CBA dictates that a veteran player’s base salary can increase or decrease by 3% in seasons after the first year of the extension, which explains why Copper will be making just under the supermax in 2025.
