The stage is now set for the WNBA playoffs, with fans and viewers eager to see how these record-breaking players will perform in the postseason. The 2024 regular season will be remembered as one of the most exciting and groundbreaking in WNBA history, with a new generation of stars rising to the occasion and shattering records along the way.
