Elsewhere heading into Week 1, Las Vegas’s Aces still reign supreme at the No. 1 spot. The all-star team, led by 2023 Finals MVP A’ja Wilson, are hoping to take home back-to-back championships this year. They play Phoenix and Arizona during this first week of gameplay.
Eyes will also be on Chicago Sky, who earlier this month defeated New York Liberty with an impressive 50-point win. Plus, Chi’s outstanding lineup of players this season, including Marina Mabrey, Angel Reese and Isabelle Harrison (back this year after a season-ending injury), means they can be expected to offer up stiff competition.
