WNBA playoffs set to begin Sunday with all four first-round series getting underway

The defending champion Las Vegas Aces and A’ja Wilson will look to threepeat while sensation rookie Caitlin Clark makes her postseason debut when the WNBA playoffs begin Sunday.

Those are just two of the storylines to follow when the league’s postseason tips off.

This is the third straight postseason the league will use a best-of-three format in the first round with the better seeded team hosting the first two games. A decisive third game would be played at the home of the lower-seeded team.

Many players and coaches weren't thrilled with the format especially now that the league provided charters all season long. The WNBA chartered for all playoff games starting in 2023.
