It was quite a weekend in the WNBA – and we’re here to break it down. Zena, Ben, and Sabreena dig into the details of Caitlin Clark’s return on Saturday afternoon, when she led the Indiana Fever to victory against a previously undefeated New York Liberty. Then, the crew discusses Angel Reese’s career-first triple-double, the Dallas Wings’ blown opportunity against the Aces, and the Minnesota Lynx’s continued leadership on matters of social importance. Plus, an update on the Sabreena Scale and the impact of recent games on the race for the Commissioner’s Cup. Later on, Ben is joined by Shana Stephenson, Chief Brand Officer for the New York Liberty, who shares the inside story on the origins of Ellie the Elephant, and what makes her such an icon. The crew wraps with Two Takes and a Fake._________________Visit our YouTube page!_________________References:WNBA power rankings: Why the Indiana Fever’s small lineup is working by Sabreena MerchantA classic Caitlin Clark performance showed the Fever’s ceiling: Watch out, WNBA by Ben PickmanCaitlin Clark shines in return as Indiana Fever hand New York Liberty first loss of season by Sabreena Merchant and Ben PickmanLynx hold moment of silence in wake of Minnesota lawmaker’s assassination by Chantel JenningsAngel Reese records first triple-double of career as Chicago tops Connecticut by Ben Pickman_________________Get in touch!
