Angel Reese Highlights WNBA Strike Possibility Over CBA

WNBA star Angel Reese has signaled the possibility of a player strike if the league does not meet players' demands in upcoming collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations. Reese, who plays for the Chicago Sky, and fellow player DiJonai Carrington have voiced concerns over salaries and revenue sharing, stating that players are ready to take action if their conditions are not met. The current CBA, which the Players' Association opted out of in 2024, is set to expire at the end of the 2025 season, driving urgency in negotiations. The WNBA has experienced significant growth, with increased viewership and a lucrative media rights deal, but players feel they are not receiving a fair share of the revenue. Reese has been vocal about the inadequacy of her salary, which she claims does not cover her living expenses, highlighting the disparity between player earnings and league revenues. The discussion around a potential strike underscores the players' resolve to secure better financial terms and benefits in the next CBA.
