After an offseason trade that came seemingly out of nowhere, Angel Reese is suiting up for the Atlanta Dream.
The Dream will travel to Minnesota to duke it out with the Lynx at Target Arena. These teams were two of the best last season. Despite neither team making the finals after a few key upsets, they both finished in the top three in regular season standings.
Atlanta brought back their leading scorer from 2026, Allisha Gray, on a three-year max-plus deal. The Olympic Gold Medalist averaged 18.4 points per game last season with 5.3 and 3.5 assists.
She’ll be joined once again by 2022 No. 1 overall pick Rhyne Howard, who averaged 17.1 points and 4.6 assists a year ago. Brionna Jones, however, is out to start the season after a right knee surgery in April.
For the Lynx, Napheesa Collier is back on a one-year, max contract. She was ranked No. 2 in the WNBA last season in scoring, only behind A’ja Wilson. Collier also provides elite defense, ranking in the top five of the WNBA in both blocks and steals a year ago.
The concern with Collier is injury. She had a surgery on her left ankle in March and is likely to be out until June, according to a statement from the Lynx.
The Lynx made a few notable additions in the offseason. The first is Olivia Miles, who was taken with the No. 2 overall pick in the WNBA Draft. They also added Kayla McBride, Courtney Williams, Natasha Howard and Nia Coffey. Collectively these five made up the starting five in the Lynx final preseason game.
