We\u2019ve got news about new rules, extensions, a trade, travel and more. <\/p>\n<p id=\"SmIYt7\">The 2024 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swishappeal.com\/\">WNBA<\/a> season is (unofficially) underway, and things already are electric. Arike Ogunbowale spoiled Caitlin Clark\u2019s 21-point pro debut with a game-winning 3, an estimated 800,000 viewers tuned into a fan\u2019s livestream of the Lynx-Sky preseason match and the Sparks prevailed over the Storm in the second edition of the WNBA Canada Game. <\/p>\n<p id=\"K57Ya0\">As preseason action rolls on (much of it, unfortunately, not televised), here\u2019s what else is happening around the W: <\/p>\n<hr class=\"p-entry-hr\" id=\"XAO6Fl\">\n<h2 id=\"cOb3VI\"><strong>WNBA rules changes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"6soTSt\">The WNBA has implemented two rule changes ahead of the 2024 season. <\/p>\n<p id=\"UdHaEp\">First, if a coach\u2019s challenge is successful, they now will have access to a second challenge. To use a challenge, the team still must have a timeout available. <\/p>\n<p id=\"00Dloy\">Speaking of timeouts, the league has changed the distribution of timeouts. Rather than four full timeouts and two 20-second timeouts, teams now have five \u201cteam\u201d timeouts, essentially a full timeout, and one \u201creset\u201d timeout, which can be used in the final two minutes of a game or in overtime to advance the ball and\/or make substitutions, but not for huddles with the coaching staff and players. <\/p>\n<div id=\"2obIhf\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The WNBA will usher in a pair of rule changes for the 2024 season, revising the replay challenge format while also eliminating 20-second timeouts. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/W2Bae1eF8C\">https:\/\/t.co\/W2Bae1eF8C<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ESPN Women&#8217;s Hoops (@ESPN_WomenHoop) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESPN_WomenHoop\/status\/1786134687104045276?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 2, 2024<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"EMCbud\"><strong>Aces ink Gray, Young to extensions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"loGNTE\">The Las Vegas Aces are doing their best to ensure they become a dynasty, signing Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young to contract extensions this week.
