The WNBA has secured a new deal that will triple their media rights, with the potential to be more.

Thank God for Angel Reese!

From WNBA Legendary on Facebook:

It's a reason why the QUEEN is leading the ROTY race. It's close though but she is definitely out in front.
Angel Reese’s double-double streak came to a close, but what an outstanding effort it was from the first-year pro:
Most consecutive double-doubles in WNBA history (15)
Most consecutive 10+ rebounding games in WNBA history (17)
The only WNBA player to have 10+ consecutive double-doubles in one season
Holds the longest active streak of consecutive 10+ rebounding games (17)
1-of-3 WNBA players in history having recorded 10+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 5+ steals in consecutive games
1-of-3 WNBA players this season having recorded 15+ points, and 15+ rebounds this season
Reese started her double-double streak as the 8th best rebounder in the WNBA and ended it as the current leading rebounder in the league this season
Reese has positioned herself to be one of only three WNBA rookies to have averaged a double-double for the season.
Reese is currently on pace to become the All-Time regular season double-double leader in WNBA history.
129 rebounds away from becoming the all-time regular season rebounding leader in WNBA history.

A historic run for the Rook! This rookie class is amazing between Air Cait, Rickea, Cameron Brink and Kamilla Cardoso all are major impacts.

WNBA closed an 11 year $2.2 billion media deal with Disney, Prime and NBC and this group of rookies is a big reason why.

That's the nice thing about Disney, they've got throw away money to toss at the WNBA and hope it works out. I'd like to see if the future projections are turning towards the WNBA finally turning a profit. 

Will be interesting to see how she responds coming out of the break.   She's now got close to a month of rest.  A recharged Caitlin could be even better.

May take until the end of the WNBA season to see the over all league impact, but what she's doing for Indiana off the court is equally impressive to the on the court numbers.

I've got some buddies that have never watched her. I told them she'd average a double double in points and assists at some point. Her biggest knock in college was turnovers and still is too an extent but I think people are starting to realize that a lot of her turnovers are great passes that her teammates just can't handle. They're not used to getting the ball in transition and near the basket the way Clark does for them time after time. 

After signing their $2.2 billion dollar deal and with two other packages likely to bring the league several million more each season, the WNBA is looking at $250 million plus each season for their total TV deals.

Last year they had an ABC/ESPN deal for just over $26 million and had signed a new ION deal worth $13 million, for a total of about $40 million per season.

The Clark Effect is real. 

With Paige Buekers coming into the league next year, I'm definitely getting a Bird/Magic vibe.

Buekers/Clark could drive this league to new heights and could be two of the best in the league very quickly.

Today she set the rookie assist record for a season (232, old record was 224), in just her 28th game.  23 points and 9 assists for the game.
