Like most things in 2020, this season of WNBA basketball is going to be unprecedented. All 12 teams have gathered in Bradenton Florida at the IMG Academy and will play 22 regular season games. Players and staff are being tested for covid-19 every day and must remain “on campus” until their season is over. A very different season indeed.
Social justice will also take center stage this season, something the Lynx have been raising awareness about for years. In 2016 the team responded to the killing of Philando Castile by wearing Black Lives Matters shirts in pregame warmups.
