The Minnesota Lynx returned home to Target Center on Saturday for a matinee matchup with the 2023 WNBA runners-up New York Liberty, who are 4-1 thus far this season and led by 2023 MVP Breanna Stewart, 2021 MVP Jonquel Jones and 2022 All-Star Sabrina Ionescu.
They took the floor without sophomore wing Diamond Miller, who left the Lynx’s 83-82 overtime loss to the Connecticut Sun with a right knee injury. Head Coach Cheryl Reeve confirmed that Miller underwent left knee surgery during the offseason, so this injury is to the other knee. Miller had surgery on her right knee in 2022 while she played at the University of Maryland.
