After weeks of preparation, the Minnesota Lynx finally stepped on the court for the first time in the 2025 WNBA season on Tuesday in Chicago.
Minnesota opened up preseason play in The Windy City, the first of two preseason contests against the Chicago Sky that concludes with a preseason finale on Saturday in Minneapolis.
With four notable players inactive — Kayla McBride, Dorka Juhász, Diamond Miller, and Jessica Shepard — the Lynx had 11 players step on the court, ultimately coming up short against Chicago 74-69 in the first action of the preseason.
