Opening bell: The Lynx (13-3) won the in-season WNBA tournament and the Commissioner’s Cup on Tuesday by beating the Liberty in New York. The game didn’t count toward the regular-season standings. The injury-riddled Wings are 3-13 and just signed former Lynx point guard Odyssey Sims to a hardship contract. Sims was an All-Star for the Lynx in 2019.
Watch her: Lynx Olympian Napheesa Collier was the MVP of Tuesday’s game; she is fourth in the league in both scoring (20.9 points per game) and rebounding (10.4), and second in steals (2.3).
Injuries: Lynx G/F Diamond Miller (knee) is out. Dallas is without Maddy Siegrist (finger), All-Star Satou Sabally (shoulder) and standout rookie Jaelyn Brown (illness).
Forecast: Talk about two teams headed in different directions ... but you never know. The Lynx are riding high. Could they be ripe for an upset?
Caitlin Clark brought her golf game and a big buzz to the LPGA Tour on Wednesday when the basketball star played in a pro-am that attracted a bigger crowd than the tour often gets for its tournament rounds.
