The Indiana Fever will be seeded fifth or sixth in the WNBA playoffs. A Thursday win over Minnesota or a Washington Mystics loss secures fifth; if Indiana loses and Washington wins, the Fever finish sixth, facing Las Vegas or Golden State rather than Atlanta.
Both teams had clinched playoff berths, with Indiana listed at 28-15 and Washington at 27-16. The Golden State Valkyries and Las Vegas Aces were still contesting the No. 2 seed, and the article described Las Vegas as likelier to finish third. The playoffs were scheduled to begin Sunday.
The article says Caitlin Clark was injured during Indiana’s playoff run last year; the season before, the Fever were swept by the Connecticut Sun in the first round. Clark is hoping to earn her first playoff win this postseason.
