    The WNBA salary cap is $1.4 million, and the deal with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority totals $1.2 million for the team.

    The deal also is more money than half of the roster makes on their WNBA contract; six of the 12 players on the roster make under $100,000, according to Spotrac. A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum are the top earners at $200,000 each, while rookies Dyaisha Fair and Kate Martin will make $67,249 this season, the lowest on the team, according to the website.

    Guard Sydney Colson, who according to Spotrac makes $76,535, said on social media it is “a life-changing investment.”

    Note that Steph Curry made $52 million last year, while the WNBA investigates women who get 0.2% of that.
