There are no shortages of challengers to the reigning WNBA champion New York Liberty or star power across the league.
A'ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier are some of the veterans who will share the spotlight with Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers as the league, in its 29th season, hopes to continue its rise in popularity.
The WNBA season tips off Friday with expansion team Golden State playing its first game that night. A day later the Liberty will host the Aces where New York will receive its rings and raise the first championship banner in the franchise's history.
Later that day, Clark and Reese will meet for the first of five matchups this season between Indiana and Chicago.
Both are looking to build off their stellar rookie seasons where they set records and helped the league to record ratings and attendance.
