The WNBA is already setting records before the season even begins, with the Indiana Fever vs. New York Liberty preseason game becoming the most-watched ever.

In this episode, Rachel DeMita breaks down what that surge in viewership means for the league’s momentum, and why there are still real concerns heading into the regular season. From major broadcast issues and blackout frustrations to injury concerns surrounding Aaliyah Boston, Lexie Hull, and Ty Harris, there’s a lot to unpack.

Rachel also dives into why Fever fans are on edge after last season’s injury situations, how teams handle transparency, and what the new CBA could mean for players risking injuries in offseason leagues. Plus, what it says about the Fever’s long-term plan with Caitlin Clark, and why Angel Reese’s evolving role with the Atlanta Dream is something to watch closely.
