Roughly a month into the WNBA campaign, the Minnesota Lynx have made their first roster move of the 2023 Regular Season.

Minnesota announced Wednesday morning it has signed forward Emily Engstler to a hardship contract. Engstler, a 6-foot-1 forward, broke into the WNBA in 2022 when she was drafted fourth overall by the Indiana Fever out of the University of Louisville.

Engstler appeared in 35 games while making six starts during her rookie campaign in 2022, averaging 5.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks over 18.2 minutes per game.
