Emma Cechova - Effective in WNBA debut Cechova recorded 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and one block over 19 minutes during the Lynx's 91-90 loss to the Dream on Saturday.

Impact Cechova signed with the Lynx in mid-April after playing in the Czech Republic's ZBL during the 2025-26 season. She came off the bench in her WNBA regular-season debut and ended up leading the reserves in minutes, points and rebounds while connecting on all five of her field-goal attempts. If she keeps up this level of play, Cechova figures to have a permanent spot in Minnesota's rotation and could even see some spot starts when the opportunity arises.

Impact McBride scored 13 of her 18 points in the first half (including eight in the second quarter), and she finished as the Lynx's second-leading scorer behind Olivia Miles (21 points). McBride inked a two-year, lower-max contract in mid-April to stay with Minnesota and is looking to make it three-straight seasons in which she's been selected to the WNBA All-Star game.

Olivia Miles - Strong performance in WNBA debut Miles logged 21 points (6-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks over 34 minutes during the Lynx's 91-90 loss to the Dream on Saturday.

Impact Miles made her WNBA regular-season debut Saturday, nearly a month after being selected by the Lynx with the No. 2 overall pick of the 2026 WNBA Draft. She took a while to get going but scored 15 of her team-high 21 points in the second half to keep Minnesota in the game. It was a productive night for Miles, who became the fifth player in league history to score 20-plus points and log five or more assists in their WNBA debut, per Alexa Philippou of ESPN.com.
