Opening bell: The Lynx (17-8) had three players — Napheesa Collier (USA), Bridget Carleton (Canada) and Alanna Smith (Australia) — play in the Paris Games as the league starts up after a three-week Olympic break. Washington (6-19) also had three Olympians — Aaliyah Edwards played for Canada, Julie Vanloo for Belgium and Jade Melbourne for Australia.
Watch her: Collier was injured before the Olympics, but was a starter in Paris. The Lynx forward is fifth in the league in scoring (20.0), third in rebounds (10.2) and second in steals (2.2).
Injuries: Neither team reports an injury.
Forecast: With 15 games remaining in the regular season, the Lynx are trying to rediscover their chemistry after a long break, but they should have the edge at home.
Kayla McBride’s 15 points led the Lynx, who had four of five starters in double figures to win for the 11th time in 12 games.
