The WNBA has enjoyed some of the fastest growth a sports league has ever seen, thanks in large part to superstar rookies Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese.
But top WNBA players don't yet have the lofty salaries to match.
Once the WNBA season is over, Jones plays a second season in Europe, mainly to complement her salary.
The money is allocated from the $75 million the WNBA raised in 2022 from a group of investors.
Though the WNBA's success has not yet led to the massive salaries seen in men's pro sports, many in the league believe it's only a matter of time.
