Liberty Playoff Watch: Magic Numbers, Standings and More

Keep track of the New York Liberty's ongoing playoff chase.
Brandon Todd, NY Liberty

In this story:


Seafoam season is due for a high-profile extension, as the New York Liberty are preparing to embark upon a 2024 postseason run.

New York is seeking its first-ever WNBA championship and the journey is set to get underway on Sept. 22. In the meantime, the Liberty and the rest of their WNBA sisters will complete their respective regular season slates, all of which cap out at 40 games.

The Liberty are seeking a return to the WNBA Finals, though they're hoping for a different ending in the potential return trip. The team that bested them last fall, the Las Vegas Aces, will be seeking their third consecutive championship and are looking to become the first team to pick up a trio since the Houston Comets won the original four. Other prominent contenders include the Connecticut Sun, Minnesota Lynx, Seattle Storm, and Indiana Fever.

Keep track of the race to the final below complete with magic numbers and clinch scenarios for the Brooklyn bunch ...
