Story summary
On Tuesday, the Minnesota Lynx faced off against the Indiana Fever in a crucial WNBA game. Despite being led by rookie Olivia Miles who recently broke Caitlin Clark's single-season scoring record for rookies with 769 points, Miles sat out due to a left calf injury. The absence of Miles heavily impacted Minnesota’s performance as they lost to Indiana 96-77. Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark spearheaded the Fever's victory with 20 and 27 points respectively, while Mitchell extended her league record to 27 consecutive games scoring over 20 points. Although this loss prevented the Lynx from clinching the No. 1 seed immediately, they secured it later when Portland Fire beat Golden State Valkyries, ensuring Minnesota's top playoff seeding despite the defeat.
