A little surprise in Minnesota since, before its last match of the regular season, the Lynx announced the return ofOlivia Epoupa in its workforce!
Signed by Minneapolis ahead of the season, the French leader (30 years old, 1m65) had nevertheless been traded by the club a month ago, as part of the arrival of Myisha Hines-Allen, then cut by the Mystics.
Very little used by Minnesota (0.9 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists on average in 7 minutes, over 16 games) at the start of the season, we thought that her first WNBA experience was over, but Minnesota had a place in its squad, and therefore decided to recall the Frenchwoman in view of the playoffs.
The club, which has already won the Commissioner's Cup this season, has very big ambitions, having finished the season with a bang (30 wins – 10 losses) to finish in 2nd place in the standings. In the first round of the playoffs, Napheesa Collier and her teammates will face Diana Taurasi's Phoenix Mercury.
And so it will be with Olivia Epoupa, who came into play (0 points, 2 assists in 9 minutes) in her team's final regular season game, lost (68-51) to the Los Angeles Sparks. It must be said that there was no stake for the Lynx, already assured of finishing in second place in the standings, and that Cheryl Reeve rotated.
