Entering this offseason as a free agent after playing with the Chicago Sky in 2023, veteran guard Courtney Williams didn’t know what to expect when she hit the open market, but she wanted to keep an open mind.
Williams didn’t have to wait long to get her first phone call as soon as the free agent negotiating period opened in January. In fact, that first call came at 12:01 a.m., less than one minute after teams could begin to talk to free agents.
The person on the other end of the phone was Minnesota Lynx Head Coach and President of Basketball Operations Cheryl Reeve, inquiring about the guard’s willingness to join the Lynx in 2024.
