How to watch the 1st WNBA playoff game

The WNBA playoff season has begun and for the first time in almost a decade the Indiana Fever are in the game.

When Caitlin Clark was drafted No. 1 in April, everyone wondered if the record-setting sensation from Iowa could bring the Fever back to the playoffs. And she did just that, securing a No. 6 seed for Indiana. Now the question is, can they win a playoff series – or even a playoff game?

That journey begins Sunday when the Fever face third-seeded Connecticut at the Sun's home arena. The teams met four times during the regular season, with Connecticut winning three of those games, but Indiana won the last meeting on Aug. 28, 84-80.

The favorite for Rookie of the Year has brought unprecedented popularity to the league this season, and has garnered a ton of attention and accolades of her own. Earlier Sunday, when A'ja Wilson was unanimously named MVP, it was also announced that Clark finished ahead of Connecticut do-it-all forward Alyssa Thomas in the MVP balloting (Clark finished fourth with 130 votes, Thomas finished fifth with 83). Will Thomas use that as motivation heading into Sunday, Wednesday and possibly Friday in their best-of-three series?
