Make that their only preseason game. Normally this would be a time for solidifying the starting lineup and setting rotations. For a couple reasons, it wont be like that for the Lynx. • Two starters — Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride — are still playing in France and Turkey, respectively. Theyve missed camp and will miss next weeks opener. • Determined to ensure theyre not banged up and are 100% ready, its unlikely either center Sylvia Fowles or wing Aerial Powers — two other starter...

On media day, she emphasized: When you have a mind like (Coach Reeve’s), there’s no such thing as a rebuild. It’s just a reload. Yeah you lost the legacy of these great players and the careers they had, but you have to see who’s coming in too. And Coach Reeve is bringing in players that have a similar mindset, a similar approach, a similar sacrific...

For all that was strange and unprecedented about the 2020 WNBA season in a bubble, one thing was standard: The team with the fewest questions won the championship. The Seattle Storm had all the pieces, led by WNBA Finals MVP Breanna Stewart. Even if coach Dan Hughes couldnt be in Bradenton, Florida, for health reasons, he contributed as much as possible from afar, and assistant Gary Kloppenburg filled in well for him. The Storm tied the Las Vegas Aces for most regular-season wins, then swept th...

Minnesota Lynx Weekend Update Photo by Stephen Gosling/NBAE via Getty Images Share this story The Minnesota Lynx began their training camp just a week ago on April 25.

The @minnesotalynx training camp kicked off yesterday and team chemistry is flowing! Every team will ...

Lynx Select Rennia Davis with the 9th Pick Share this story Player Profile: Shoot splits: 0.480 FG%, 0.260 3P%, 0.853 FT% Advanced: 0.99 PPP ( I was absolutely astounded to see Rennia Davis fall to the Lynx at the 9th pick. Although I had her 7th on my big board, many mocks and experts had listed her as a top 5 talent and it’s easy to see why. Standing at an impressive 6’2”, Davis is do-it-all forward who was a winner season in, and season out. Her athleticism pops and with her wiry fram...

By doubling down on the offseasons to-do list. Rebounding and defense were among Lynx General Manager and coach Cheryl Reeves areas for improvement, and even more help arrived during Thursday nights WNBA draft when Minnesota selected Tennessee small forward Rennia Davis with the ninth pick overall. The Lynx selected Davis with their only pick in the draft, as Reeve traded away her teams second-round pick last year for guard Rachel Banham, as well as its third-round pick in a deal with Indiana. ...

Copy shortlink: Cheryl Reeve has made no promises that the Lynx selection — ninth overall — in Thursday nights WNBA draft could become the third consecutive WNBA Rookie of the Year in Minnesota. Rookies may struggle to make immediate impacts leaguewide as rosters are expected to shrink. But itll be especially tough in Minnesota, where the Lynx are focused on the future with a deep roster bolstered by three veterans acquired in free agency and the past two top rookies...
