It may surprise some fans to learn that Caitlin Clark’s WNBA salary with the Indiana Fever is close to what Angel Reese will be making after joining the Chicago Sky. Clark will make just over $3,000 more than Reese despite being selected six picks ahead of the former LSU star.
Based on the WNBA collective bargaining agreement, Clark’s salary is $76,535 with the Fever for her rookie season as the No. 1 pick. By comparison, Reese has a $73,439 salary for 2024 as the No. 7 selection.
Clark will be making the same money as the other top four picks in the 2024 WNBA draft. Reese will have the same contract as players selected with picks No. 5 through No. 8.
Moving on to 2025, Clark has a $78,066 salary, while Reese will make $74,909. The difference between Clark and Reese’s salaries remains about in the $3,000 range for the life of their WNBA contracts.
Reese will make $82,399 in her third season compared to Clark’s $85,873 salary. Both players will ink three-year contracts with a team option for a fourth season in 2027.
It would be a surprise if the Fever and Sky did not exercise their fourth-year options. Clark will have a $97,582 in the fourth season, while Reese will earn $93,636.
