Lynx open 2024 season on May 14, will have monthlong break for Olympics
The Lynx's season opener is in Seattle, and their home opener is three nights later, also against the Storm.
The league announced its 2024 schedule Monday. There will be an in-season tournament — the Commissioner's Cup — with each team playing five in-conference games in early June as part of the regular-season schedule before two teams advance to the championship on June 25.
The WNBA will take a four-week pause from mid-July to mid-August for the Olympic Games in Paris. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve is Team USA's head coach, and the Lynx's first-team All-WNBA player Napheesa Collier is likely to be on the American team.
The Lynx's 40-game regular season will end Sept. 19 with a home game against Los Angeles.
