Sorry, but have to ask again or verify .What is Lloyd's salary ? 50 thousand or 75 thousand ? What does her agent get ,5 % or do WNBA players even have an agent ? WNBA players must have other sources of income . Commercials ? Regular jobs ?Anybody have any insight ?

I believe many WNBA players tend to play in foreign leagues in the WNBA offseason. Not sure what that equates to in terms of income.

That is great news. She is something else.

I believe the high end veteran salary is 100K. Median salary is 72K and the low end is around 38K. Keep in mind there season is only 4 months long.

107k is max salary in wnba. standard agent cut is 3% of salary and bonuses. 20% of other negotiated revenue.

Izo, the top players can make over $500,000 overseas. I think Taurasi makes over a million. Granted she is the best of all time but that is still pretty good money compared to where they were 5 years ago.
