The WNBA playoff race is heating up with only five weeks remaining in the regular season. The Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty are facing significant challenges, including injuries to key players. Breanna Stewart’s absence has severely impacted the Liberty, leading to four consecutive losses before a recent win. Meanwhile, Napheesa Collier’s ankle injury puts the Lynx at a disadvantage, despite their previous record-setting win. Other teams, like the Dream, could rise in the standings if they manage to stay healthy as the postseason approaches.
With only five weeks left in the regular season, the WNBA playoff race is in full swing, and the two teams atop the league standings are contending with hurdles: Both the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty are facing time without their stars while integrating new players.
Both the Minnesota Lynx and New York Liberty are facing significant challenges, including injuries to key players. The Liberty's Breanna Stewart Impact's was felt as they lost their first four games without her.
The Lynx followed that up with the largest road win in WNBA history, beating the Aces by 53 points on Saturday, but now must navigate the next two weeks without their MVP frontrunner, Napheesa Collier.
If the Dream can get (and stay) healthy, they could be a pleasant surprise atop the standings as we move toward the postseason.
