The WNBA is doing record numbers in attendance and television ratings. This is largely due to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. The Fever have played 7 games so far this season. While there record is 1-6,they have 5 losses to teams that were in the WNBA Finals and the Semifinals. This has propeled the league to having chartered flights for all of the teams. There are now endorsement deals including Gatorade,CarMax and Wilson. Expansion is next with a franchise being awarded to Toronto and Golden State. Golden State will debut next year while Toronto will become the 14th team in the league in 2026.
The top teams so far are the Connecticutt Sun,Minnesota Lynx,Las Vegas Aces,New York Liberty and Dallas Wings.
The marquee matchups this week are the Aces against the Lynx on Wednesday and the Wings versus the Sun on Saturday. The Aces game is on NBA TV and the Sun game is on ION.
The top scorers in the league are:
Kahleah Copper: Phoenix Mercury- 29.2
