Chicago Sky star Angel Reese is preparing for her third season in the WNBA. The rebounding savant has led the league in cleaning up the boards in both of her seasons. As she heads into this season, she’ll not only be looking to duplicate that fast for a third consecutive season but also help the Sky improve in their 23-61 record the last two seasons.
In 2025, Reese, led the Sky in scoring 14.7 points, 12.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game. Not only a hooper, Reese has also been a strong advocate about the lack of pay the players have been paid, and she along with many others helped the players secure a huge increase in the recent brand new CBA. With new money now in tow, the 2023 NCAA national champion while at LSU is making jokes about sneaky links.
Mo Money, Mo Hookups?
With the 400 percent increase in pay for the WNBA players, an elite veteran like four-time MVP, three-time DPOY and three-WNBA champion A’ja Wilson will see her pay increase from $200K to $1.4 million per season.
A player like Reese or Caitlin Clark will be considered an elite rookie and their pay will go from $78K to $530K per season.
That type of increase has Reese wondering about some off the court fun as it pertains to the players. During a recent episode of her “Unapologetically Angel” podcast, Reese asked guest Speedy Morgan to describe his type of woman to which he didn’t answer.
That prompted Reese to say this as it pertains to sneaky links being more of a thing for players now that they’re bringing in more bread.
“We getting money now, so they can fly you out.”

Reese Killing It Off The Court
