What happened: The Minnesota Lynx signed Eliska Hamzova to a second consecutive 7-day contract, confirmed via the transactions section of the WNBA website. The move keeps Hamzova on Minnesota's roster on a short-term basis for now.
Why it matters: Minnesota can only carry Hamzova on 7-day deals for two more stints before the team must either release her or move to a full contract, giving the front office a near-term roster decision. The Lynx have been floated as potential trade deadline buyers, and how Hamzova fits factors into their depth calculus.
By the numbers: WNBA rules cap a player at three consecutive 7-day contracts with the same team before the club must sign her to a full contract or let her go; this is Hamzova's second of that allotment.
What to watch: Minnesota faces a decision on a third 7-day contract or a full-season deal for Hamzova before the current term expires.
