Angel Reese won the opening championship of the unique league on Monday night, and with it came a $ 50,000 bonus.
Reese, who won the National University Championship with LSU in 2023, was part of Rose BC, along with Chelsea Gray, Lexie Hull, Kahleah Cooper, Azura Stevens and Brittney Sykes.
Each player won the bonus, and it is sure to say that Reese was quite excited.

“50k need Datttt,” he published in X shortly after the victory.
That led Sydney Colson, who recently signed a one -year contract with Caitlin Clark’s Indiana fever, so that Reese would give him the money.
“Hello Angel girl, I just wanted to register and see how you are and let you know that I am here for you if you need something … especially if you need to get rid of 50K for tomorrow or something …” Colson responded to Reese’s publication.
But Reese rejected it, and it seems that its original publication was not much sarcasm.

“Hi Sista. I’m fine. I just won 50k on a flight. I know you’re very aware and I’m sorry to break it, but I’m in a rookie contract and that 50k was a little more than half of my contract, so I have to keep that for me …
Reese has talked about the WNBA contracts recently: he won just under $ 75,000 in his rookie season and win less than that this year.
“I am living beyond my possibilities. Hateing you pay for invoices, baby. I just hope you know that the wnba does not pay my invoices,” he said in October. “I don’t even think he pays one Of my invoices. Literally, I’m trying to think about my rent where I stay. Let me make mathematics very fast. Don’t even know my salary (WNBA), $ 74,000? “

Reese also said earlier this month that he is willing to “stay at the negotiating table during the time necessary for players to get more money.
Reese was appointed defensive player of the year in the inaugural season.
