Summary

With all of the air in the WNBA room being sucked up by loud takes on Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and what their rivalry means to America, it’s easy to forget that we’re about a month and a half into the season. So today ESPN women’s basketball writer Michael Voepel takes us around the league to fill us in on what we’ve been missing.

And A’ja Wilson is doing it again, looking like a pretty solid bet to take home her third MVP award. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
