Where every player in the WNBA playoffs went to high school

While 22 international players hold roster spots, California leads the domestic competition when when it comes to producing postseason players with 12, including former champions Sabrina Ionescu and Chelsea Gray. There is at least one player from the Golden State on every playoff roster. 

Texas follows with nine and Ohio with eight.

First-round matchups include top-seeded Minnesota against Golden State, which reached the postseason in its inaugural season. Second-seeded Las Vegas hosts Seattle, third-seeded Atlanta hosts Indiana and Phoenix hosts defending WNBA champion New York in the 4-5 matchup.

The WNBA Finals are set for Oct. 3 and will have a best-of-seven format for the first time.
