Angel Reese Takes Jabs At WNBA Salary While Roasting Fever Guard Over $50K Unrivaled Bonus

Angel Reese is takin' a jab at her WNBA salary joking (we think) about the paltry paycheck she receives compared to some other super high-paid athletes 22-year-old Reese played in the Unrivaled 3-on-3 hoops league (though she missed time with an injury), and her Rose BC team won the 'chip, with a 62-54 victory over Aliyah Boston's Vinyl team, securing a $50k bonus. After securing the bag, Reese went to X and wrote, "50K NEED DATTTTT" prompting WNBA star Sydney Colston to respond with a joke, asking if she could hold some cash. That's when Reese took a little jab at her first-year WNBA salary. "I'm sorry to break it to you but I’m on a rookie contract," Reese said, "and that 50k was a little more than half of my contract so I have to keep that to myself." Sorry :( give me a few years and I gotchu. Be Well. This comes just a week after Reese on her "Unapologetically Angel" podcast threatened there could be a WNBA lockout if they don't get paid more money. "If y'all don't give us what we want, we sitting out," Reese said. Reese who is entering her 2nd season with the Chicago Sky signed a four-year rookie contract worth around $324K and is set to make around $75K in 2025. That salary doesn't include her countless endorsement deals, like Reebok, McDonalds, Hershey's, Beats by Dre, and more.
