WNBA star Angel Reese previously revealed that her basketball wage did not cover her bills.
Reese, 22, is a forward for WNBA side the Chicago Sky and is widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in the league.
And despite her popularity growing in recent years, she has been outspoken about salaries in women’s basketball.
In October 2024, she took to social media to explain how her paycheck of $73,000 hardly covered her $8,000 monthly rent which amounts to $96,000 per year.
“I just hope y’all know the WNBA don’t pay my bills at all,” Reese said during an Instagram livestream last year, via ESPN.
“I don’t even think that pays one of my bills, [the salary] isn’t enough to pay my car note, I wouldn’t even be able to eat, I wouldn’t be able to live,” she added.
“I’m living beyond my means!” joked the WNBA star.
