Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese’s rivalry, a ‘race war’ and record viewing figures… the WNBA’s most explosive season returns tonight

After a one-month break and yet another gold medal for the USA women’s basketball team, the WNBA is back.

Six teams, including the league-best Liberty and Angel Reese’s Sky, will resume their seasons tonight after play halted in July.

But with just five weeks remaining in the W’s regular season, it’s worth looking at what happened earlier in the season – and what we can expect in the final stretch.

Before the WNBA’s pause, No. 1 overall pick Caitlin Clark was really beginning to find her footing in the league after some early growing pains.

The former Iowa standout is leading the league with 8.2 assists (to go along with 17.1 points), and set several records as she helped her Fever climb up the standings.
