Mixed results in easy win McBride closed with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 111-77 victory over Phoenix.

Impact Although McBride scored a season-low seven points, she did dish out a season-high five dimes Monday. The 33-year-old guard has averaged 13.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 31.7 minutes per tilt across nine games this season.

Scores 12 points in win McBride supplied 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 96-81 win over the Dream.

Impact McBride has had a couple of 20-point performances already this season, but she has failed to reach the 15-point mark in five of her seven outings. Her role as a starter means McBride should have a high floor, especially since she's averaging 10.6 field goals per contest, but so far, the efficiency has been lacking a bit -- particularly from three. She's making just 32.3 percent of her long-range shots.

Strikes for 13 points Saturday McBride contributed 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes in Saturday's 85-75 win over the Sky.

Impact McBride turned in her most efficient performance of the season from beyond the arc, scoring in double figures for a sixth straight game to begin the regular season. The veteran guard also tallied a season-high four dimes. While the Lynx have plenty of mouths to feed even without Napheesa Collier (ankle), McBride should continue playing a sizable role thanks to her veteran leadership and outside shooting.

Productive in preseason debut McBride generated 13 points (4-7 FG, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, an assist and a steal in 21 minutes during Friday's 73-66 preseason win over Toronto.

Impact McBride missed Minnesota's first two preseason matchups due to rest purposes, but she took on a starting role during Friday's preseason finale and didn't appear to have many limitations in the victory. She was one of four players on the team to score in double figures and one of three to top the 20-minute threshold. McBride dealt with a ruptured eardrum late in the offseason, and it's not yet clear whether the issue will impact her availability to begin the regular season, particularly when the Lynx are on the road, but she delivered a strong performance during her lone preseason appearance Friday.

Won't play Saturday McBride (rest) is out for Saturday's preseason game against the Mystics, Andrew Dukowitz of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Impact The seven-year veteran is getting a rest day, but she'll be fine when the regular season gets underway. Expect more minutes for Olivia Miles and Courtney Williams with McBride unavailable.

Not listed on injury report McBride isn't listed on Minnesota's injury report for Saturday's preseason game against the Mystics.

Impact Head coach Cheryl Reeve indicated at the start of training camp that McBride is dealing with a ruptured eardrum and could miss time, but it sounds like she'll be available for the first exhibition, though how many minutes she'll play is still unclear. With Napheesa Collier (ankle) out to start the season, the Lynx may rely more on McBride.

Iffy to begin preseason Head coach Cheryl Reeve indicated Sunday that McBride is dealing with a ruptured eardrum and could miss time, Andrew Dukowitz of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Impact Reeve noted that although the situation regarding McBride's ruptured eardrum is something they will be monitoring, it is not something they believe should be a lingering issue. Still, the Lynx begin preseason action April 25, and McBride's status is in question.

Impact McBride has been a key player for the Lynx in each of the past five seasons and was selected to the WNBA All-Star game in both 2024 and 2025. Across seven games in last year's postseason, she averaged 18.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 3.1 threes and 1.1 steals over 35.9 minutes per game. McBride will lead a Minnesota backcourt that also includes Courtney Williams and Jaylyn Sherrod.

Back to full health McBride (quadriceps) returned to action for Turkish club Fenerbahce in early February, Mitchell Hansen of CanisHoopus.com reports.

Impact McBride suffered a right quad tear in late January, but the issue didn't force her to miss extended time, and she should be available for the start of WNBA training camp in late April. The 33-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent ahead of the 2026 season, but she's expressed satisfaction with her five seasons in Minnesota, and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Lynx make a push to bring her back.

Suffers right quad tear Turkish club Fenerbahce announced Thursday that McBride suffered a tear in her right quad during a recent practice session, Mitchell Hansen of CanisHoopus.com reports.

Impact McBride put together another solid season with the Lynx during her age-33 campaign in 2025, averaging 14.2 points, 3.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 31.3 minutes per game. Availability hasn't been a concern over the past several years, as she's appeared in at least 38 regular-season games in three consecutive seasons. However, McBride is now slated to miss time overseas, and it's unclear whether her injury will impact her readiness for the start of training camp ahead of the 2026 WNBA season.
