With the calendar flipping to 2024, that also signifies offseason activities intensifying in the WNBA ahead of the 2024 campaign tipping off in May.
The first, and perhaps the biggest, thing that will take place to begin 2024 is WNBA Free Agency, which officially begins Jan. 11. From Jan. 11-20, teams can begin to offer qualifying contracts to free agents before all 12 teams can begin negotiating contracts with any free agents on the open market on Jan. 21. Players can then begin putting pen to paper and signing free agent contract starting Feb. 1.
Entering free agency, the Lynx have six players under contract: Napheesa Collier, Kayla McBride, Tiffany Mitchell, Jessica Shepard, Diamond Miller and Dorka Juhász.
