The Washington Mystics have begun their long offseason. The Washington Wizards will not start training camp until next week. However, there is still meaningful basketball being played right now, with the 2025 WNBA Playoffs which are underway.
SB Nation Reacts’ survey this week focused on the semifinals, where the Minnesota Lynx are playing against the Phoenix Mercury while the Las Vegas Aces are playing against the Indiana Fever. Both series are tied at 1-1. Tomorrow, Game 3 of each semifinal series will begin with the Fever hosting the Aces at 7:30 p.m. ET and the Mercury hosting the Lynx at 9:30 p.m. ET. Both games will be on ESPN 2.
Now onto the results. Our respondents nationally believe that the Lynx will win their series (79 percent) over the Mercury while the Aces (53 percent) narrowly beat out the Fever as the favorites in their series.
I think Minnesota will make the Finals again, where they were the WNBA runners-up last season and are looking for their first championship since 2017. The Aces are seeking a third title in four years against the rising Fever, who are aiming for their first championship since 2012.
Which team do you think will win the WNBA championship? Let us know in the comments below.
