Breaking News: Angel Reese American basketball player just announce to departure due to…

The potentially looming WNBA lockdown could have major financial ramifications for WNBA stars like Angel Reese. The Chicago Sky rookie recently went on Instagram Live to express how her salary from the league doesn’t pay her rent.
