ANGEL REESE has warned the WBNA that players could go on STRIKE if salaries aren’t raised.
The WNBA recently opted out of its current Collective Bargaining Agreement, meaning it will expire this coming October instead of 2027.

Player pay is among several points of contention between the league and its stars.
A dispute is seemingly on the cards, and Reese has hinted that she and her fellow players could opt to sit on the sidelines if their demands aren’t met.
The Chicago Sky star said on her Unapologetically Angel podcast: “I need to be in the (players’ union) meetings because I’m hearing that if (the league) don’t give us what we want, we’re sitting out.”
Guest Dijonani Carrington was seemingly on board with the idea of strike action, saying: “That’s a possibility, for real.”
Reese’s comments on potential strike action spread like wildfire and divided opinion among basketball fans.
And the social media frenzy elicited a strong response from the power forward, who said: “I love how y’all have selective hearing.
“I said, ‘I’m hearing if they don’t give us what we want, we sitting out.’ And that’s the truth.
“I never said anything about the NBA. We are prepared to stay at the negotiating table for as long as it takes.

“Here’s the link to my podcast so you can hear the conversation too.
“I will continue to use my voice to speak for what WE want & deserve as a league. Thank ya.”

The popularity of the WNBA has soared over the last year, thanks to Reese and the arrival of Caitlin Clark.
Reese inked a four-year rookie contract with the Sky ahead of her maiden professional season, which included a base salary of less than $75,000.
And she’s expecting the CBA’s changing of the salary structure to have a negative financial impact on the 2025 WNBA Draft class.
The WNBA’s opting out of its collective agreement was announced by the WNBAP last October.
WNBPA executive director Terri Carmichael Jackson said in a statement: “The players made the decision to opt out of the last CBA to realign the business and save the league from its own limitations.
“With a stronger foundation and new investments flowing in, they’re opting out again – this time to fully professionalize the league, secure proper wages, improve working conditions and lock in meaningful benefits.”
