NEW YORK — The «superteams» showdown in the WNBA Finals got an unexpected twist due to injuries that kept Las Vegas Aces starters Chelsea Gray and Kiah Stokes out of Game 4 on Wednesday.

Still, the Aces prevailed over the New York Liberty 70-69 to take a step toward dynasty status and become the first back-to-back WNBA champions in 21 years.

With the 2023 season in the books, it's time to look ahead with ESPN's Way-Too-Early WNBA Power Rankings for 2024. Much can change in the offseason, as we saw this year when New York added Breanna Stewart and Courtney Vandersloot in free agency and Jonquel Jones via trade to become the top challenger to the defending champion Aces.

Stewart, the 2023 season MVP, and Jones are both free agents for 2024, although it is expected they will return to New York.
