Angel Reese threatened to boycott WNBA matches if the league does not respond to players’ requests for the new collective agreement, while the Chicago sky striker continued to complain about his salary.

And while WNBA players are ready to negotiate a new CBA after the players’ union withdrew from the current in October (it still takes place until October 31, 2025), Reese said on her ‘Shameless angel’ Podcast that players could skip games if the negotiations go wrong.
“If you don’t give us what we want, we sat down,” she said, speaking to her colleague player of the WNBA Dijonai Carrington.
Reese added that she could not wait ‘the new CBA, which will be negotiated in the middle of a massive increase in the popularity of the League, and should come into force for the 2026 season.
