Minnesota Lynx vs Phoenix Mercury Game Preview: <\/p>\n

The Minnesota Lynx roster underwent a massive turnover in the off-season, leaving only four returning players from last year\u2019s team: Courtney Williams, Kayla McBride, Anastasiia Kosu, and Napheesa Collier, who had surgery on both ankles in the offseason and won\u2019t resume on-court activities until later this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t go into free agency thinking this would be the case,\u201d Reeve said during training camp in April. \u201cWe got to a week later, and I\u2019m looking up, going, \u201cWhat just happened?\u201d<\/p>\n

But failure isn\u2019t an option for the four-time WNBA Coach of the Year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this iteration of the Minnesota Lynx, there is no space for us not to be successful here. The challenge is, how are we going to do it? Who\u2019s going to be part of this? We are going to be successful. It\u2019s just going to take a little time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a new opportunity for players and for us to show that we can do what we\u2019ve always done, which is showing that we can develop players. Great opportunity comes from that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, eight games into the season, Minnesota, 6-2, owns the league\u2019s best record and the longest active win streak at four games.<\/p>\n

The Lynx lead the league in field goal percentage (49.8%) and are first in net rating (10.3). Howard, McBride, Courtney Williams, and Olivia Miles are all averaging over 14 points per game, making Minnesota the only team with four players above that mark.<\/p>\n

Miles, the second-overall pick in this year\u2019s draft, leads all WNBA rookies in minutes, points and assists per game.<\/p>\n

\"WNBA:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In a season of transition and transformation, the Lynx have shrugged off the loss of a big chunk of their formidable 2025 team to start 5-2.<\/p>\n

After reaching the WNBA Finals last season and getting swept by the Aces, the Mercury, now 2-7, are off to their worst nine-game start since 2023. They enter tonight\u2019s matchup with the longest active losing streak in the league at five games. <\/p>\n

\u201cNo one is going to feel sorry for us,\u201d said Phoenix head coach Nate Tibbetts<\/a>. \u201cNo one drew up 2-7, but we\u2019ve got to keep fighting. I believe in the group, and we\u2019re going to keep fighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe we\u2019ll be where we need to be when the playoffs come around \u2014 and we\u2019re not there right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
