The Indiana Fever are making an unexpected change for Game 2.

A 102-85 loss wasn’t the start to the playoffs that the Indiana Fever wanted. They entered Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs against the Las Vegas Aces, 2-1 up over them in the regular season, but couldn’t win when it counted.

Stephanie White and Caitlin Clark. | NBAE via Getty Images Both the Indiana Fever and Minnesota Lynx can tell themselves that everything went wrong when they suffered blowout losses in their respective Game 1s of the first round of the 2026 WNBA Playoffs. Such a mindset is a well-worn sports cliché, intended to signal belief that the next game will be better. Much better. And, it’s sometimes true. For instance, on Sunday afternoon, the Las Vegas Aces shot almost 60 percent from the field and ...

Hailey Van Lith thanks the Connecticut Sun for her time with the team.

After 24 seasons in Connecticut, the Sun has officially set. The end of the Sun’s time as a WNBA franchise was more than just a final season or a final game. It was a gradual process of saying goodbye, packing up and preparing for the next chapter, all while trying to honor 24 seasons […] The post The Sun has set in Connecticut: how the team is saying goodbye to Uncasville appeared first on The IX Sports.

NEW YORK — No eighth-seeded team in league history, thus far, has ever made the WNBA Finals. The New York Liberty are on a quest to become the first. It began when they finished head coach Chris DeMarco’s first season with a 26-18 record, leaving them with the final playoff spot in the league’s packed standings. Injuries left DeMarco bereft of […] The post Liberty take first step vs. Lynx toward proving their struggles forged a contender appeared first on ClutchPoints.

WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert is at the helm for her final playoffs. As Engelbert prepares to exit the league at the end of the season, she’s found herself in another controversy following comments she made while praising Minnesota Lynx star Olivia Miles during her Rookie of the Year ceremony.

Last season, the Dallas Wings won just 10 games, and they were tied with the Chicago Sky for the worst record in the league. A year later, Paige Bueckers and her team pulled off one of the biggest turnarounds in league history.

After dropping Game 1 of its first-round WNBA playoffs series to the Las Vegas Aces, when do Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever play next?

Golden State Warriors legend Stephen Curry has made his place in the history of the sports but his three-pointers remain the most iconic aspect of his game. WNBA’s Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark is also said to have a similar style that to Curry’s and has drawn comparisons to the NBA icon from time to [...]

Being swept in the first round of the playoffs may not be the most concerning scenario facing the Indiana Fever right now. Aliyah Boston has been carefully managed by Indiana after dealing with a lower-body injury over the past several weeks.

While the talk is about Minnesota being down 0-1 in the playoffs, the Lynx are claiming awards for their great season.

The Minnesota Lynx remained at the top of the league for most of the 2026 WNBA regular season and finished as league leaders. However, they didn’t look like a dominant team on both ends of the floor against the No.

DT was known for her fiery and competitive nature.

Remember when people questioned whether Angel Reese could become a legitimate WNBA superstar? That conversation looks ridiculous right now. Reese has been dominant in her first season with the Atlanta Dream, averaging 16.4 points and 12.1 rebounds while rewriting the record books. She became the first player in WNBA history to grab 500 rebounds in…

The WNBA postseason kicked off with fireworks, but A'ja Wilson's absolute masterclass against Caitlin Clark and the Fever stole the show.

She can't believe what was said.

Star's contributions can sometimes fly under the radar.

The Lynx need more from Napheesa Collier to overcome the Liberty.

Bueckers needs help. Will she get it in time?

Caitlin Clark has already built one of the most entertaining highlight reels in the WNBA. She may have added another entry to it Saturday. Clark found Kelsey Mitchell with a ridiculous pass, threading the ball between a defender’s legs and right into Mitchell’s hands. The Indiana Fever shared the play on X, calling it the […]

Mitchell struggled in Game 1.

Olivia Miles has been named the unanimous WNBA rookie of the year, becoming the sixth player in Lynx history to earn the honor.

Former LSU women's basketball star Angel Reese secured a major WNBA award this week.

After Indiana was blown out by the defending champion Aces in Game 1, Stephanie White’s comments about the Fever needing to be “humbled” sparked criticism online.
