Top Lynx players to watch
Star forward Napheesa Collier anchors the Minnesota rotation when healthy. As a premier two-way playmaker, Collier averaged more than 22 points and 7 rebounds per game last season. She’s joined by veteran Natasha Howard, who returned this season to provide elite length and rebounding.
In the backcourt, sharpshooter Kayla McBride remains a constant threat, stretching opposing defenses with her high-volume perimeter scoring. Fans should also watch rookie Olivia Miles, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. Her creative playmaking adds a fresh, high-energy spark to the veteran-heavy roster.
