Caitlin Clark Returns, Angel Reese Shines + The Birth of EllieIt was quite a weekend in the WNBA \u2013 and we\u2019re here to break it down. Zena, Ben, and Sabreena dig into the details of Caitlin Clark\u2019s 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\u2019s career-first triple-double, the Dallas Wings\u2019 blown opportunity against the Aces, and the Minnesota Lynx\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
