The WNBA acknowledged that a betting-related video featuring Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers “missed the mark” after it prompted criticism online. The league’s response matters because it reflects sensitivity around using prominent players in gambling promotional content.

The article reports that the WNBA removed the post following a backlash from fans, who accused the league of hypocrisy. Reese and Bueckers are high-profile young players, making the video particularly visible amid growing sports-betting partnerships across professional sport.
