The WNBA is back after a two-week hiatus for the FIBA Women’s World Cup, and things are heating up down the stretch. Playoff seeding is still up for grabs, with all eight teams jockeying for positioning.
The Valkyries are pushing the Lynx in the race for the No. 1 seed, with Golden State winning their first two games out of the break despite being without star Gabby Williams, who is recovering after leading France to a silver medal in Berlin. Minnesota, meanwhile, is clinging to the top seed, with Cheryl Reeve’s team trying to recenter after a 0–3 stretch around the FIBA recess.
