The Seattle Storm are back on the hardwood tonight, tipping off a full WNBA schedule on July 20, and the league is already buzzing with big moves and early season drama. You know we’ll be locked in from the Emerald City!
Aces Eye Repeat, While Contenders Make Big Moves
The WNBA is here, rocking a new collective bargaining agreement and a roster full of million dollar players. Everyone’s looking to knock off the defending champion Las Vegas Aces, who still have reigning MVP A’ja Wilson leading the charge. But don’t sleep on the challengers, with the Atlanta Dream, New York Liberty, and Indiana Fever all ready to make some noise.
Injuries Already Hitting Hard and One Huge Trade Shakes Things Up
It’s not even mid-season and the injury bug is already making its presence felt. The Indiana Fever are looking fully healthy, a big deal after they missed floor leader Caitlin Clark for much of last season. But the New York Liberty, who also battled injuries last year, are already dealing with a major blow: Sabrina Ionesco is sidelined after rolling her ankle in a preseason game against the Connecticut Sun. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Dream made the trade of the offseason, getting Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky to add to a roster that won 30 games last season. That’s a huge move, Seattle!
