The Minnesota Lynx were originally set to enter 2024 WNBA Draft with two selections at No. 7 overall in the first round and No. 31 overall, the seventh pick of the third round.
But in the week leading up to the draft, Lynx General Manager Clare Duwelius said the team was “definitely open” to making a trade involving their selections in the draft, saying “everything is on the table.”
On Sunday, the eve of the draft, the Lynx indeed made a move, swapping picks and players with the Chicago Sky. Minnesota and Chicago swapped the seventh and eighth picks in Monday’s first round, in addition to Minnesota sending Nikolina Miliu0107 to Chicago and acquiring Sika Koné from the Sky.
