Dawn Staley will serve as an analyst on the new CBS WNBA pregame show, the network announced on Wednesday.
The show, called WNBA Tip Off, will debut this Saturday at 7:30 ET on CBS. The game between Indiana and Chicago follows at 8:00 ET. Former Gamecocks Aliyah Boston and Kamilla Cardoso will face off in that game.
