The first of six regular-season WNBA doubleheaders on ESPN2 begins Tuesday, July 1, featuring Indiana at Atlanta at 8 p.m. followed by Chicago at Los Angeles at 10 p.m. The doubleheader will debut the custom lyrics from the platinum hit song “Classic” by Malcolm Kelley and Tony Oller of MKTO, which was reinvented for ESPN2’s WNBA regular-season coverage. The song will be mixed with highlights and used throughout game telecasts.
Atlanta enters Tuesday’s game leading the East Conference with a 3.5 game lead over second-place Connecticut Sun, and led by Angel McCoughtry, who is third in the league in scoring, averaging 20.1 points per game. Indiana is in fifth place with four straight losses.

Rookie Jessica Breland has stepped up for the team, averaging 13.2 points and 2.23 blocks per game. The Sparks are led by Candace Parker, who is scoring 19.9 points per game, good for fourth in the league.
