The Lynx turned an offseason full of questions into a successful season, but the job’s not done yet 😼🏀 ✍️ @M_Hansen13 b Via @Winsidr on X

What happened: Minnesota clinched a playoff berth on Aug. 9. The Lynx have since added a guard on a rest-of-season hardship deal.

Why it matters: With postseason entry secured, protecting the top seed is the immediate competitive priority. The late backcourt addition also gives Minnesota a rotation decision heading into the playoffs.

By the numbers: Minnesota's 31-9 record translates to a .775 winning percentage through 40 games. [WNBA team standings](https://www.wnba.com/team/1611661324/minnesota-lynx)

What to watch: Watch how Minnesota incorporates its new backcourt addition when play resumes.
