Preseason games are over, rosters have been finalized and training camp is coming to a close. All of which means that it’s time to start a new WNBA season. The 2024 campaign tips off Tuesday night with a loaded four-game slate that includes the defending champion Las Vegas Aces and No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark.
Here’s a look at Tuesday’s full schedule:
- New York Liberty at Washington Mystics, 7 p.m. ET — WNBA League Pass
- Indiana Fever at Connecticut Sun, 7:30 p.m. ET — ESPN2
- Phoenix Mercury at Las Vegas Aces, 10 p.m. ET — ESPN+
- Minnesota Lynx at Seattle Storm, 10 p.m. ET — ESPN3
Before the games begin, let’s take a look at where each team stands with CBS Sports’ preseason power rankings. As always, these rankings will be updated every Monday throughout the season.
1. Las Vegas Aces
Just ahead of training camp, the Aces took a big hit when Candace Parker decided to retire. While they only ever had her for 18 games at the beginning of last season, she turned the team into a cheat code and was a big reason why they were the overwhelming favorites to win it all again. They remain the best team in the league, but their margin of error is smaller without Parker.
2. New York Liberty
Results don’t matter at…
