In the opening game of the 2025 <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wnba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>WNBA<\/a> playoffs, the Minnesota Lynx will lock horns with the Golden State Valkyries at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Lynx have been on the run to convert their 2024 WNBA Finals finish to their fifth championship this season. After beginning the regular season with an unbeaten nine-game streak, they became the first team to secure a playoff berth, and booked themselves the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wnba.com\/standings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'> top seed<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The Golden State Valkyries had a comparatively rough start to their debut season.

In all those games, Minnesota maintained their dominance to take their head-to-head record 4-0. While the data is enough to indicate the outcome of the forthcoming series, fans must not underestimate the debutants. Golden State stands a solid chance of scripting history and it wouldn&rsquo;t want to let go of this opportunity without giving a tough fight.&nbsp;<\/p><p>With that said, let&rsquo;s see how the 2025 WNBA playoffs injury report looks like for the Lynx and the Valkyries ahead of their first playoff meeting of the season.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2025 WNBA Playoffs Injury Report Minnesota Lynx vs Golden State Valkyries&nbsp;<\/h2><p><strong>When<\/strong>: Sunday, September 13, 2025 | 1 pm ET<br><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota<br><strong>TV<\/strong>: ESPN | <strong>Live Stream:<\/strong> WNBA League Pass&nbsp;<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minnesota Lynx Injuries&nbsp;<\/h3><p>DiJonai Carrington &ndash; Probable (L.
