I think Coach Reeve decided, as many coaches in all sports do, simply to shorten her bench in the playoffs so that she has fewer players to give reps to in practice, or to coordinate on offense and defense. The Liberty aren't going very deep in their bench either, nor did the Sun in the semifinal series, where Olivia barely got minutes despite strong play through most of the season.
I am rather surprised that Diamond Miller has barely played lately, and not at all in any playoff series, despite being the #2 overall draft pick a year ago and having had an excellent rookie season. But I think that also is a case of Coach Reeves shortening the bench for the playoffs.
