After the introduction of NIL deals in 2021, Angel Reese is one of the athletes who made sure that she makes the best out of such rules in the collegiate basketball market. But it not only helped Reese monetarily, but she also made other contributions to the athletes, which can be mentioned as follows:

Financial Benefits: The NIL deals and the sponsorships have just added to the income that the Sky forward receives from the WNBA. The Chicago Sky forward earned $73,439 for the 2024 season as a rookie. But despite such a novice in the league, her net worth has jumped to $2 million as of January 2025. Considering the lavish lifestyle that Reese lives, the combination of salary and endorsements is a must for Sky Forward to survive.

Enhanced Brand Value and Visibility: Big names like Amazon and Reebok have slung Angel Reese into the market beyond the WNBA. Now, she is visible not only to basketball fans but also to shoe lovers and regular buyers on Amazon. Eventually, her market presence will increase, and her ability to sell products with just her face card and name.

Setting up opportunities for black athletes: Athletes like Angel Reese have proved that Black women athletes can match the marketability of their NBA counterparts. The amount signed might not be the same right now. However, the sheer number of brands that are approaching the league after its success is proof of WNBA’s success. Reese has even set up the Angel C. Reese Foundation to empower young girls in Baton Rouge and Baltimore through sports, education, and financial literacy.

Challenges Faced: Sometimes, the achievements get overshadowed by double standards and the stereotypical approach of society. The same happened with Reese when she faced the complexities of NIL regulations and public scrutiny about her lifestyle choices. However, she loves to live life the way she lives, boldly, and that’s why she focuses on educating the other athletes as well about the financial gains that they can get as athletes.

Future Prospects: Reese just entered the league in 2024, and she already has so many sponsors that she carried with her from her collegiate-level success. The WNBA market is expanding as well. So, in the future, it will not be a surprise if Angel Reese becomes parallel to the NBA players in terms of sponsors and endorsement deals.
