Aces star Kelsey Plum voiced her displeasure with the WNBA’s current pay structure and advocated for a larger revenue share from the NBA on Monday.
“We’re not asking to get paid what the men get paid,” Plum told The Residency Pod.“We’re asking to get paid the same percentage of revenue shared.”
International salaries have far exceeded that of the WNBA for years, as players often have elected to play overseas during the WNBA’s offseason for additional pay. Overseas, players’ salaries could exceed seven figures, something that does not happen in the WNBA.
