The Minnesota Lynx welcomed two new faces to Mayo Clinic Square on Friday morning when the team signed guards Moriah Jefferson and Evina Westbrook to rest-of-the-season contracts. The UCONN alumnae will assume the roster spots created by the departures of a pair of veterans, forward Angel McCoughtry and guard Odyssey Sims, who were each waived upon mutual separation agreements on Thursday.
Three players familiar with the 2022 Lynx — forward Nina Miliu0107, center Hannah Sjerven and guard Yvonne Turner — were re-signed to hardship contracts prior to the start of practice, as well.
All five players will be available for Saturday night’s home matchup with the reigning champion Chicago Sky.
