The impact of this year’s transformational WNBA season can be found anywhere one looks. Sold out arenas became the norm. Television ratings helped expand the fan base. The continual record-breaking quests of Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, A’ja Wilson and others emerged as part of routine conversations.
Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark celebrates after a three-point basket against the Dallas Wings in the first half of a WNBA basketball game in Indianapolis, Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024. Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese warms up before a WNBA basketball game against the Indiana Fever, Friday, Aug. 30, 2024, in Chicago. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese shoots against Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson during the first half of a WNBA basketball game on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2024, in Las Vegas.
And as much as everyone attempted to manage the lofty expectations, Clark and Reese, in particular, exceeded them. The Chicago rookie forward established new league marks for single-season rebounds , offensive rebounds and overall rebounding average . Though Reese didn’t hold the single-season rebound record long because Wilson broke it while Reese was sidelined with a season-ending injury.
Their polarizing personas put Clark & Reese squarely in the middle of discussions about everything from hard fouls to technical fouls, even cultural issues — including sexuality and race.
