Las Vegas and Indiana came into the season on completely different ends of the seesaw. The Aces are the two-time defending champions, while the Fever have held the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft for the past two seasons. 

While Clark’s attendance in Vegas largely sparked the venue change, the Aces have also presented some of the best players in the WNBA, like MVP frontrunner A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young. 

It will also be Clark’s second matchup against her former Iowa teammate, Kate Martin. All eyes will be on the Aces vs. Fever on Tuesday, showcasing some elite WNBA talent.
