Angel Reese Calls Out WNBA Pay Disparities After $50K Unrivaled Bonus

The rising basketball star contrasts her rookie contract with earnings from the Unrivaled league, reigniting calls for better salaries in women's sports.

Angel Reese earned a $50,000 bonus after leading Rose BC to an Unrivaled 3-on-3 championship, surpassing half of her WNBA rookie contract value.
Reese continues to criticize WNBA salaries, revealing her rookie pay of $73,439 does not cover her $8,000 monthly rent.
She hinted at potential collective action, including a WNBA lockout, if players' salary demands remain unmet.
Despite missing the playoffs due to injury, Reese was instrumental in Rose BC's success, earning Defensive Player of the Year honors.
Reese supplements her income through endorsement deals with brands like Reebok and Beats by Dre, as well as part ownership in DC Power FC.
