​The WNBA has returned with a new collective bargaining agreement and multi-million dollar players ready to showcase their talent. The Las Vegas Aces aim to defend their title with the league’s reigning MVP, A’ja Wilson, at the helm. But they won’t have a clear path to repeating, as several strong contenders are poised to challenge them, including the Atlanta Dream, the New York Liberty, and the Indiana Fever. The Fever come into the new season fully healthy after dealing with the absence of floor leader Caitlin Clark for much of last year, while the Liberty are hoping to avoid the injury woes that plagued them last season. Sabrina Ionescu is already sidelined early on after a preseason sprain to her ankle suffered in a game against the Connecticut Sun.
The Atlanta Dream, meanwhile, pulled off the offseason’s blockbuster move, acquiring Angel Reese from the Chicago Sky to bolster a squad that won 30 games last season. With Reese in the fold, Atlanta hopes to push further into title contention and add another deep playoff push to a franchise already on the rise.
