WNBA Fans Sound Off After Angel Reese Lands Massive Pay Raise

Angel Reese is officially cashing in as the WNBA’s new financial era begins to take shape.
The Chicago Sky forward is set for a massive jump in pay heading into the 2026 season, thanks to the league’s updated collective bargaining agreement. After earning roughly $75,000 early in her career, Reese will now make a reported $350,000 — a staggering increase of more than 400 percent.
The third-year standout, who built her name at Maryland before becoming a national champion at LSU , has quickly grown into one of the league’s most marketable and impactful young stars. Now, her paycheck is finally starting to reflect that rise.
New CBA Signals Major Shift Across the League
Reese’s jump isn’t just about one player — it’s a sign of bigger changes coming to the WNBA.
The new agreement is expected to elevate salaries across the board, with teams navigating how to allocate bigger contracts while maintaining roster balance. With limits on how many high-salary players teams can carry, league insiders expect increased movement and tougher roster decisions in the near future.
In other words, Reese’s payday could be just the beginning of a much larger shift in how teams are built.
Notable Projected WNBA Salary Increases per the new CBA
Aliyah Boston: $94k -> $574k
Caitlin Clark: $85k -> $528k
Paige Bueckers: $80k -> $500k
Cameron Brink: $85k -> $493k
Sonia Citron: $80k -> $436k
Angel Reese: $75k -> $350k

Fans React to Reese’s Payday
As expected, the internet had plenty to say once the numbers dropped.
“There is gonna be a lot of movement, because the team wouldn’t want to increase pay for more than 3 players in one team. At least each team will have a good or a great player,” one fan wrote.
“Used to be tennis or golf only but you can now start training your daughter for the wnba for a more than honest living,” another added.
“Angel making less than Cam and Sonia is crazy work,” a third fan posted.
“So happy for the WNBA Angel Reese should get more BUT happy nonetheless Cheers to women’s sports,” another said.
“Great for them, but they should share a bit with former players who paved the way,” one more fan added.
What It Means for Reese Moving Forward
Reese has already proven she can handle the spotlight — both on and off the court. Now, with a significantly bigger contract, expectations will only grow as she continues to develop into a franchise cornerstone for Chicago.
At just 23 years old, she’s positioned to be one of the faces of the league’s next generation — and now, one of its highest-paid young stars too.
TMSPN Take
The WNBA is finally starting to pay its stars closer to their value — and Angel Reese is one of the biggest early beneficiaries.
This isn’t just a raise, it’s a signal. The league is evolving, money is growing, and players like Reese are at the center of it. If this trend continues, expect bigger deals, more movement, and a completely different landscape over the next few seasons.
