SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Natasha Howard - Strong double-double in win Howard accumulated 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Sunday's 101-89 win over the Sun.
Impact Howard recorded her 10th double-double of the campaign as the Lynx improved to 32-10 on the season. Across all 42 appearances, Howard has been reliable with 14.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks.

The Warriors may be exactly what the Pelicans need if this season takes a turn for the worst Golden State needs the veterans New Orleans has, and the Pelicans need the flexibility and draft capital the Warriors can offer.

Olivia Miles - Helps Lynx snap three-game skid Miles finished with 21 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals across 30 minutes in Sunday's 101-89 win over Connecticut.
Impact Miles had another productive showing Sunday, recording her third consecutive game with at least 20 points to help Minnesota snap a three-game skid. She was also efficient from the field, posting her best shooting effort since the 77-66 victory over Golden State on Aug. 19. Miles, who is a favorite to win the 2026 WNBA Rookie of the Year award, is averaging 19.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.3 steals over 31.0 minutes per contest in 40 regular-season games.

Elena Buenavida - Off injury report Buenavida (coach's decision) is not listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against Connecticut.
Impact Buenavida has yet to make her WNBA debut. If she ends up getting ruled out, her next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday versus Indiana.
SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Liatu King - Not listed on injury report King (coach's decision) is not listed on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Sun.
Impact King is signed to a developmental contract, limiting her to 12 regular-season games. She has played sparingly throughout the 2026 campaign, logging one minute in the 89-81 loss to Atlanta on Aug. 30, so even if she is in uniform for this contest, she isn't expected to see many minutes.
SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Anastasiia Olairi Kosu - Out again Sunday Kosu (foot) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Connecticut.
Impact Kosu will miss her second consecutive game due to a foot injury. She has averaged 3.6 points over 10.2 minutes per contest in 30 regular-season games during the 2026 campaign, so her absence won't have much of an effect on the rotation.

Nia Brodie - Swats two shots Friday Brodie (formerly Coffey) registered three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 13 minutes during Friday's 93-81 loss to New York.
Impact Brodie wasn't very impactful on the offensive end in her limited minutes off the bench, though she did tie the game-high mark in blocks. The 31-year-old forward has scored single-digit points in five straight games, averaging 3.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 combined steals-plus-blocks in 18.2 minutes per showing over that span.
SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Kayla McBride - Scores 16 points in loss McBride finished Friday's 93-81 loss to New York with 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 34 minutes.
Impact McBride struggled with efficiency in this one, and she's shot just 27.3 percent from downtown in her last three games. Still, the veteran guard finished as Minnesota's second-leading scorer Friday. She's averaged 16.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals in 35.0 minutes per game over her last five outings.
SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Napheesa Collier - Grabs seven boards in loss Collier chipped in 14 points (7-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Friday's 93-81 loss to the Liberty.
Impact Collier produced a strong outing from two-point range but couldn't get either of her three-point tries to fall. Still, she was Minnesota's third-leading scorer and finished second on the team in rebounds. The star forward also tallied multiple blocks for the fourth time this season.

Olivia Miles - Needs 18 shots to score 20 points Miles registered 20 points (5-18 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 34 minutes in Friday's 93-81 loss to the Liberty.
Impact Miles had a tough time getting her shot to fall and missed all three of her three-point attempts, but she did a nice job of getting to the line and still delivered with the counting stats. She'll look to bounce back with a more efficient offensive outing Sunday in Connecticut.
SEPTEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Elena Buenavida - Won't play Friday Buenavida (coach's decision) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Liberty.
Impact Buenavida has yet to make her WNBA debut and will remain on the inactive list Friday. Her next opportunity to play will come in Connecticut on Sunday.
