The WNBA tipped off its preseason this weekend, with many of the league’s biggest stars in action. Coming off its buzziest season in history, the WNBA televised all of its preseason games for the first time, including an ESPN showcase for Caitlin Clark’s return to Iowa with her revamped Indiana Fever squad.

The Fever won their first two exhibition games, even with Clark sitting out their opener against the Washington Mystics. A’ja Wilson, Jackie Young, Jewell Loyd and Chelsea Gray took the floor for the first time as a Las Vegas Aces quartet. Paige Bueckers began her career with the Dallas Wings, and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese returned to LSU in a homecoming.
