According to sources close to the league, Reese and Clark are set to make a combined total of $1 million in their first season with their respective teams. While this may seem like a hefty sum, especially for two players fresh out of college, some fans are questioning why these rookies are making more money than some seasoned veterans in the league.
“I just don’t understand how these rookies are making bank while players who have been in the league for years are still struggling to make ends meet,” one fan expressed on social media.
Others have pointed out the gender pay gap in professional sports, with male athletes often earning significantly more than their female counterparts.

Despite the controversy surrounding their salaries, Reese and Clark have continued to dominate on the court, proving that they are worth every penny. Their electrifying performances have captured the attention of fans across the country and have solidified their status as rising stars in the league.
Only time will tell if their salaries will continue to spark debate among fans, but one thing is for sure – Reese and Clark are here to stay and are ready to make their mark in the WNBA.
