The WNBA has largely avoided sports betting controversies involving its own players. Now the league may have just created one.
The WNBA posted a now-deleted video on multiple official league social media accounts of Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese appearing to place a $400 bet during All-Star Weekend for an upcoming game between the Dallas Wings and Atlanta Dream.
That game was played Wednesday night, and the Dream defeated the Wings at home, 82–81.
The video showed Bueckers being asked backstage ahead of Wednesday’s game whether she remembers placing the bet with Reese.
“We did?” Bueckers replied, before the video flashed back to a moment from last weekend between the two players at All-Star Game practice.
