The NBA provides the WNBA with an annual endowment of over $15 million. This financial support helps cover various operating costs for WNBA teams, including facilities, travel, marketing, and administration. As of 2023, the NBA owns 50% of the WNBA, while the 12 WNBA teams collectively own the other 50%. This shared ownership underscores the NBA’s commitment to women’s basketball..

If it wasn’t for the NBA the WNBA would not exist

The WNBA generates less revenue compared to the NBA. The financial resources from ticket sales, merchandise, and broadcasting deals are not sufficient to sustain WNBA operations independently.The NBA recognizes the need for a professional women’s league. By subsidizing the WNBA, the NBA champions gender equality in sports and provides role models for aspiring female players.

It’s all about the optics. They can’t let the little kids see that the WNBA can’t survive on its own. They could always go play in Russia. Just don’t bring any illegal drugs with you
