Talk about unequal pay: The most a WNBA player can make in a season is $105,000. The Atlanta Hawks' Joe Johnson this season will make more than $272,000 -- per game. Agent Bruce Levy said players can add to the average $72,000 WNBA salary by playing overseas, where a typical seven-month contract starts at $40,000.
The average salary of a WNBA player is estimated to be around $72,000. This makes the average total league-wide wages $10,368,000. Itâs important to note that the WNBA, unlike the NBA, forbids publicly disclosing the details of a playerâs contract/salary. The WNBA consists of 12 teams with 12-player rosters and a minimum salary of $37,950.
