Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve called it a "big week'' for Augustus, who will be monitored to see how her knee holds up after increasing her activity.
• The Lynx signed Jillian Alleyne to a seven-day contract Tuesday. The 6-3 forward played for the Lynx in the preseason before being cut. She was a second-round pick by Phoenix in 2016 out of Oregon, where she was the 10th player in NCAA Division I history with 2,000 points and 1,500 rebounds.
Alleyne played in the Israeli league last winter, averaging 18.7 points per game for Hapoel Rishon Lezion.
Royce Lewis’ blazing start to his Twins career had him atop the ranking at the end of spring. But times have changed.
