WNBA training camps are just a few days away as teams get ready for the season. Rookies Caitlin Clark and Kate Martin have already begun working out with their teams earlier than scheduled.

The former Iowa teammates will play against each other in the WNBA, which tips off on May 14. The Indiana Fever, Clark's team, and WNBA defending champion Las Vegas Aces, Martin's team, shared workout videos and photos on social media, featuring their prized recruits.

According to Grayson Weir of BroBible, the differences between the Fever and Aces' practice facilities are polarizing.

He noted that the Fever facility looked like a classic midwest gym with red brick walls and high ceilings, while the Aces' facility was bigger and had a different aesthetic.

Las Vegas uses a 50,000-square-foot facility that's the only complex built solely for a WNBA team. It opened in April 2023. Indiana opened its facility, which is connected to Gainbridge Fieldhouse, in January 2021. The Indianapolis Star wrote a story in March detailing why the Fever's new practice facility is a draw for free agents.

The WNBA's opening night on May 14 will highlight the debut games of Clark and Martin. Among the games featured matches of the quadruple-header are Indiana versus the Connecticut Sun at 8 p.m. ET and the Phoenix Mercury versus Las Vegas at 10 p.m.
