Angel Reese Says $73,000 WNBA Salary Can’t Cover Her Bills, Renews Pay Gap Debate
WNBA star Angel Reese has once again sparked conversation about the league’s wage structure after revealing that her $73,000 salary is not enough to cover her everyday expenses. Reese, a 22-year-old forward for the Chicago Sky, previously disclosed that her $8,000 monthly rent alone exceeds her annual WNBA pay. While she acknowledges the added income from endorsements and the high-paying Unrivaled 3-on-3 league—where players can earn six figures—Reese maintains that WNBA salaries remain far below what is needed for financial stability. Her comments have reignited discussions surrounding gender pay disparity in professional basketball, especially when compared to NBA players earning tens of millions annually. Despite the challenges, Reese says she remains grateful for the opportunities the sport provides.
