Reeve ready to see new-look Lynx in preseason opener

The Lynx begin preseason play with a game against the Chicago Sky on Friday at Target Center, and for head coach/president of basketball operations Cheryl Reeve, there's no time like now to get a look at how some key offseason acquisitions are going to pay off. The Lynx lost their first six games last season but rebounded to finish 19-21 and qualify for the playoffs. Reeve wants to win — expects to win — and that will be a focus with the first preseason game and beyond. Along with a strong returning group that includes leading scorer Napheesa Collier ( 21.5 points, 8.5 rebounds per game) at forward, shooting guard Kayla McBride (14.3 points) and 2023 No. 1 pick Diamond Miller, the Lynx will feature Courtney Williams as the new starting point guard after signing the eight-year veteran as an unrestricted free agent.
