The 2024 WNBA season has been the most exciting in league history. Social media attention is way up, due to the arrival of Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese entering their rookie seasons. There has also been a lot of discourse around how the two rookies have been adjusting to the more physical game of the WNBA. Clark has been getting literally pushed around by veteran guards, sometimes, just to prove a point like last week. And Reese was ejected from a game yesterday after a loose ball call.
If the discourse around Reese and Clark weren’t enough, the WNBA is expanding by two teams by 2026, with the Golden State Valkyries opening shop next year and Toronto getting another team in 2026.
