Of course it goes without saying that we'd love to see WNBA players make more money so they don't have to play overseas in the offseason.

And for Angel Reese and her rookie salary, the Chicago Sky forward says she's not making enough to cover her bills.

While on Instagram Live, she broke down her $8,000 rent and expenses to go along with her salary and said "I'm living beyond my means!"

For what it's worth, she made nearly $74,000 in 2024 and will make a little more than that in 2025. She's getting additional money in endorsements, but her point is that her salary doesn't pay all of her expenses.
