Injured Rookie Olivia Miles Will Not Play Against Fever as Lynx Try to Clinch WNBA's Top Seed
The Lynx are one game ahead of Golden State for the No. 1 seed with two games left, according to WNBA.com.
- Minnesota Lynx rookie guard Olivia Miles was ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Indiana Fever due to a left calf injury about 90 minutes before tipoff.
- Miles leads the Lynx with 19.8 points and 6.0 assists per game after recently breaking Caitlin Clark's single-season scoring record for a rookie on Sunday.
- "It changes a lot, certainly, because she's the head of the snake," Fever coach Stephanie White said, emphasizing Indiana must maintain urgency regardless of the lineup shift.
- The Lynx pursue the WNBA's top seed with a victory, while the Fever aim for a top-four position, sitting 1.5 games back of the Atlanta Dream.
- Minnesota and Indiana play again in the regular-season finale on Thursday, September 24 in Minneapolis; assuming the playmaker returns, the injury should not derail the Lynx.
