Mark Jackson Hopes WNBA Salaries Improve So Players Don’t Have To Go Overseas

Ex-NBA hooper Mark Jackson is getting in touch with the WNBA to offer its players the cash they should have … informing TMZ Sports he hopes it gets to a point where they no longer need to play overseas in the offseason in order to live conveniently.

WNBA salaries have been a huge subject of conversation just recently … after super star Kelsey Plum mentioned how the income shown female players is dramatically various than that of the NBA.

Considering the reported average WNBA income is $102,751 a year, numerous players wind up betting leagues in Europe and Asia to make more money … which is precisely why Brittney Griner went to Russia prior to her 10-month incarceration.

Jackson wants players didn’t need to turn to worldwide ball … stating “Hopefully, financially, we put these women, professional athletes specifically the WNBA women, in a position where they don’t have to add additional income to their accounts.”

For those who continue to play overseas, MJ believes it is essential players are “more aware” of where they’re going … and states they need to be fluent with all the laws and guidelines that remain in location when they check out.

Several players have verbalized their frustrations with WNBA checks … consisting of Angel McCoughtry, who informed us she was making her WNBA income “in one month in Russia.”

Jackson states the players are long past due for a raise … and he’s on their side in their battle with the league.
