WNBA set to tip off with spotlight on rookie class led by Clark, Reese and Aces’ quest for 3-peat

UNDATED (AP)- While conversations about the league’s growth may start with Caitlin Clark, talk about wining the 2024 WNBA championship begins with the star-studded Las Vegas Aces. The two-time defending champions led by A’ja Wilson are on a quest to three-peat. Clark, along with Angel Reese, Cameron Brink and Kamilla Cardoso are part of the most talked about rookie class in the past decade. The players’ huge followings from college have already sold out jerseys and arenas with teams moving games to bigger venues to accommodate ticket demand. But what they do on the court will be key to sustaining the focus on the league that begins its 28th season on Tuesday (May 14, 2024).
