While the public perception of professional basketball players being multi-millionaires, bolstered by the headline-grabbing stories of contracts in excess of $40 million, the reality is that in the women’s game, the money is far more humble.

According to Yahoo Finance, the average WNBA salary in 2021 is $120,648. The league’s “supermax” salary of $221,450 is only achieved by seven players. For reference, the minimum salary in the NBA is $925,258. AS
