The 2024 WNBA season tips off Tuesday night, and with it, the most anticipated rookie class in league history makes its debut. Lottery picks Cameron Brink and Rickea Jackson won’t take the court until Wednesday, and we’ll have to wait a little longer to see Kamilla Cardoso as she recovers from a shoulder injury. But the No. 1 pick is in action as Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever take on the Connecticut Sun (7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2).
It’s hard to say if expectations for Clark are too high considering everything she has accomplished, including a pretty stellar preseason opener, but with anticipation reaching frenzied levels, let’s try to set the stage for Clark’s rookie campaign.
Welcome back to Getting Technical, where The Athletic’s women’s basketball experts, Ben Pickman and Sabreena Merchant, take you into our conversations about the 2024 WNBA season. In this edition, we’re focusing on the incoming rookie class and the impact it might have. We’ll discuss what we’ve seen so far, and how we think Clark will perform when the games count and if any other rookies could win the end-of-season honor.
