the WNBA playoffs

Playoff time ................. in the WNBA

Elena Delle Donne has already led Chicago to its first postseason berth in franchise history.

Now the 6-foot-5 budding young star will try and help the Eastern Conference’s top team keep the run going in the playoffs. Delle Donne, the overwhelming favorite to win rookie of the year, said she and her teammates are looking forward to the challenge

“It’s going to be a great experience,” she said. “We’re all very excited about it, we’re all going in it for the first time.”

Chicago will have a tough test in the opening round, facing defending WNBA champion Indiana. The Fever, beset by injuries all season, got back star Katie Douglas last week. She sat out 30 games with a bulging disc in her back.
