The 2025 WNBA regular season is coming to a close, and the playoff picture is starting to take shape. On Saturday, the Minnesota Lynx secured the No. 1 seed and home-court advantage throughout the playoffs with a win over the Connecticut Sun , while the Washington Mystics were eliminated with a defeat to the Golden State Valkyries . In addition, the Phoenix Mercury picked up a huge win over the reigning champion New York Liberty to create some separation in the race for the No. 4 seed.
With less than two weeks remaining, four of the eight playoff spots have been secured, but only one seed has been locked down. Five teams are still eligible for the final four spots, though the ninth-place Los Angeles Sparks are on the outside looking in.
The action will continue Sunday w
