Game one, originally scheduled for Sunday, was postponed due to inconclusive COVID-19 tests from players of the Storm. They immediately isolated those players and postponed the game. In a statement, Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said that safety must come first. 

"The health and safety or all players and staff continue to be our top priority. After comprehensive consultation with the health and safety specialists following the additional testing of Seattle's players and staff as well as the implementation of contact tracing, we feel confident moving forward with the Storm and Lynx taking the court for game one of their Semifinals series. We are closely monitoring the situation and are coordinating with medical specialists."

The WNBA says that only one player will remain isolated after extensive additional testing was done. 

The Lynx and Storm game will tip off at 8pm on ESPN2.
