The WNBA playoffs are in full effect, and teams are competing to see who takes home the trophy in the next few weeks. The postseason tipped off on Tuesday with eight teams, but the Chicago Sky, Washington Mystics, Phoenix Mercury and Los Angeles Sparks have all been eliminated. What’s next? A best-of-five semifinal series beginning Sunday: The Connecticut Sun will face the top-seeded Las Vegas Aces, and the Minnesota Lynx  will play the No. 2 seed Seattle Storm. The last two teams standing will advance to the WNBA Finals for a best-of-five series starting on Oct. 2. And while the action on the court is heating up, WNBA players have been using their platform to speak about racial injustices and police brutality for months. Their push for change has continued to affect many. For some, such as WNBA star Maya Moore, a journey for justice introduced a journey to love. On Wednesday, Moore announced her marriage to Jonathan Irons, a man she helped free from prison. “We wanted to announce today that we are superexcited to continue the work that we’ve been doing together, but doing it as a married couple,” Moore, 31, said. — Marissa E.
