The Seattle Storm secured the final spot in the 2025 WNBA playoffs after a dramatic win over the Golden State Valkyries. Erica Wheeler's late jumper sealed the victory, securing the Storm's postseason berth despite a late-season slump. All eight playoff teams have winning records for the first time since 2021. The playoffs begin Sunday, with the final seeding yet to be determined. Meanwhile, five teams – Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, and Connecticut – will compete in the 2026 WNBA Draft lottery.
