Angele Reese threatens WNBA strike if players not paid more

Angel Reese had a solid rookie season for the Chicago Sky before it ended prematurely due to injury. While WNBA salaries have increased with the added popularity the game has received due to the 2024 excitement that fellow rookie Caitlin Clark brought to the women's game, Reese feels she is grossly underpaid.

There was a report last week that Reese even claimed WNBA players should get paid what NBA players do, but the validity of whether she said that or not has been put into question. Reality is that Reese and WNBA players would never want to get paid like NBA players since the latter is paid a percentage of the league's massive revenue while the former has never had a profitable season.
