MYSTICS

The Women’s National Basketball Association says little about players’ pay. The minimum salary for 2011 is $36,570; veteran players can earn up to $103,500. Players also can earn bonuses. Each member of the Mystics got a small bonus for making the playoffs this year. Bigger money comes from winning the WNBA championship—an extra $10,500 per player—or being named most valuable player, which carries a $15,000 reward.
