The 2025 WNBA playoff picture is coming into focus as the season enters the final stretch.
Six teams have already punched their tickets to the postseason — the Minnesota Lynx (No. 1 overall seed), Las Vegas Aces, Atlanta Dream, Phoenix Mercury, New York Liberty and Golden State Valkyries — and two spots remain. The Indiana Fever is one of three teams battling for the final playoff spots, alongside the Seattle Storm and Los Angeles Sparks, with two games remaining in the regular season.
The Fever have navigated devastating injuries all season long, from season-ending injuries to Aari McDonald (broken right foot), Sydney Colson (left ACL tear) and Sophie Cunningham (right MCL tear), to Caitlin Clark (right groin) being sidelined indefinitely. Yet the team’s playoff hopes are still alive. For now.
Indiana will face the Washington Mystics on Sunday in the team’s penultimate game of the regular season. It is a must-win for the Fever and won’t be easy. Despite the Mystics being eliminated from playoff contention, Washington leads the head-to-head against the Fever this season, 2-1.
