Connecticut Sun, Minnesota Lynx secure postseason bids

Two more teams have secured a spot in the WNBA playoffs, with both the Connecticut Sun and Minnesota Lynx heading to the postseason after strong weekend performances.

Connecticut went 2-0 on the weekend, beating the Chicago Sky 82-80 on Friday and the New York Liberty 72-64 on Saturday. The Sun improved to 22-7 on the season with the two wins.

Minnesota also won both of its weekend games to secure a spot in the postseason. The Lynx defeated the Las Vegas Aces 87-74 on Friday and followed that up with a 90-80 win over the Indiana Fever on Saturday. Minnesota is 22-8 this year.

Only three teams in the WNBA have secured a spot in the postseason. Last week, Liberty became the first team in the league to earn a playoff bid. New York is the best team in the league with a 25-5 record.

All three teams have been sensational during the 2024 WNBA season. In addition to securing an early playoff spot, the Lynx also won the Commissioner’s Cup earlier this year. The Liberty are off to the best franchise history, and the Sun are quietly one of the best teams in the league.

Only three other teams in the WNBA currently have a winning record: Seattle Storm (18-10), Phoenix Mercury (16-14) and Aces (17-11). Which team will be next to clinch a postseason spot?

With only one month left in the season, it will be interesting to see which teams manage to secure a spot in the play-offs.
