Скачать или смотреть Fever, Clark vs. Sky, Reese to tip off WNBA's Rivals Week in Aug.

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever will face Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky in prime time to tip off the inaugural WNBA Rivals Week in August.

Other games will include two between New York and Minnesota in a WNBA Finals rematch; a potential matchup of Paige Bueckers and Dallas, which is expected to select the UConn star with the first pick in next Monday's WNBA draft, against Clark's Fever; and Atlanta's Brittney Griner facing her old Phoenix Mercury squad."What Cathy and her team have done with the league, the cultural currency of the players, the media connectivity, the entire ecosystem, is just phenomenal," Ally Financial chief marketing officer Andrea Brimmer said. "To me it's kind of the crown jewel of what's happening in the women's sports space."

This isn't Ally's first foray into women's basketball. It was one of the inaugural partners with the 3-on-3 league Unrivaled that finished its first season last month. The conversations with the WNBA started years before Unrivaled came into existence.

"This very intentional focus on women's sports has been something that have been not only words, but deeds behind it," Brimmer said. "The ability to come on as the new sponsor of the WNBA for us is adding another jewel to the family."

Ally also signed Bueckers, the projected No. 1 pick, to an endorsement deal. The company already has deals with WNBA players Breanna Stewart and Sydney Colson.

"Partnering with Ally is about more than just banking -- it's about people to make their money work smarter," Bueckers said. "As an athlete, I've learned that success isn't just about the game you play, but the opportunity and resources you get access to."

Brimmer said Bueckers isn't just a brand ambassador, but also an online customer.

"She uses the product and she's got a lot of passion around financial education and financial literacy," Brimmer said.#caitlinclark #wnba #basketball
