The Minnesota Lynx will play their first preseason game of 2025 against the Chicago Sky on Tuesday. The Lynx were one of the best teams in the league last season and finished with the second-best record (30-10). Led by Napheesa Collier, the team also reached the WNBA Finals, where the New York Liberty defeated them in five games.
On the other hand, the Sky finished the 2024 season with one of the worst records in the league (13-27). Despite their poor performance, the arrival of Angel Reese was a big deal for the team. Reese finished her rookie season, recording 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game.
Drafted four picks ahead of Reese, Kamila Cardoso also made quite an impact in Chicago, recording 9.8 points and 7.9 rebounds during her rookie season. The Sky boasts one of the most formidable young cores in the league with Reese, Cardoso and Hailey Van Lith.
