Kayla McBride has played in several countries, including Turkey, which has helped her make some extra cash while she stays at the top of her game all year round. It’s her hard-working attitude that has made her one of the most consistent and well-paid players in the league today. Speaking of which, why don’t we take a closer look at her deal with the Minnesota Lynx?

Kayla McBride inked her first-ever professional deal with the San Antonio Stars after being picked third overall by the franchise. It was in Texas where she tipped off her WNBA career, and it’s safe to say that she’s never looked back since. After playing for the Stars/Aces for seven seasons, McBride made the move to Minnesota, where she’s become the leader on the court we see today. Apart from seeing all the highs and lows throughout this time, the 33-year-old has also secured the bag.

What’s your perspective on:

Does Kayla McBride's $3.5 million net worth reflect her true value in the WNBA and beyond?

Have an interesting take?

Don’t believe us? Her numbers speak for themselves. McBride has made around $1 million through her WNBA paychecks alone! Yes, you’re reading that right. However, it does make sense given the longevity of her hoops career and her current deal with the Minnesota Lynx. McBride is on a massive two-year $413,000 deal with the Lynx. She’s already earned $208,000 in 2024 through it and is set to make $205,000 this year.

You thought this was insane? Before this deal, Kayla McBride was on a three-year, $588,801 deal in 2021. The five-time All-Star earned an average salary of $196,267 while on that deal. That’s huge when compared to the other WNBA players. However, it’s safe to say that the veteran forward deserves every bit of her massive deals, given the effort she puts on the court. Not to mention, her lethal scoring ability, which is second to none in the entire league. However, this was about how much she’s made on the court, but what about the deals she’s made off the court?
