The Connecticut Sun have qualified for the WNBA playoffs and are locked into the seventh seed for next week's playoffs.
The Atlanta Dream, on the other hand, are fighting for their playoff lives.
Connecticut plays Atlanta on Friday night with the latter needing to win to stay in contention for the eighth and final playoff berth. The game is at 7 from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. The game will not be televised but will be broadcast on Facebook.
The Sun (10-11) will play the sixth-seeded Chicago Sky (11-1) in a single-elimination first-round game on Tuesday, Sept. 15. The teams split their two games this season.
Connecticut’s starting backcourt of Briann January and Jasmine Thomas were both listed as questionable on the team’s injury report Thursday. Neither played in Wednesday’s loss to the Phoenix Mercury. January has a dislocated finger. Thomas is dealing with both plantar fasciitis in her right foot and an injured left ankle.
