Just in from the Fever: Damiris Dantas has a torn meniscus in her left knee. She underwent knee surgery yesterday and will miss the remainder of the 2026 WNBA season.
A couple really poor photos from a really exceptional show. Saw Kesha tonight at the Mystic Lake Amphitheater. First visit to a truly incredible new venue. And Kesha, man, what a love letter to millenials. She absolutely understood the assignment and brought the house down. 10/10 We R Who We R
This is very kind of David, and also kind of many of you who clicked 'follow' at his behest. I'm very behind on notifs from yesterday, but want to introduce myself to all of you who are new. David probably forgot that I'm an Arsenal fan and will probably retract this as soon as he sees it 😂💕
David Naylor@profcedar.bsky.social · 3d agoNot enough people follow @terryhorstman.bsky.social, y'all gotta fix that.
Postgame sound. Cheryl on Olivia Miles continuing to reach another level:
Final: Lynx 108, Fever 100 Lynx win their 10th straight, longest win streak for them since 2016 and improve to 25-6 on the season.
Big-time shot-making by Courtney down the stretch and she puts the Lynx up 107-100 with 32.3 seconds to go. Timeout Indiana.
Yikes. 12-2 run by the Fever cuts the lead to 100-96. Mitchell then fouled by Miles on a 3 and is getting reviewed for a possible upgrade. Ruling stands. Common foul. Mitchell shooting 3.
End of 3: Lynx 87, Fever 76 Both offenses come back to earth a little bit and go 23-23 in the 3rd. Phee getting more involved w/ 8 points in the 3rd, she's got 15.
First TO of the 2nd half, 11-11 scoring so fa at the 4:59 mark and the Lynx lead 75-64.
HT: Lynx 64, Fever 53 Miles and Mitchell duking it out, both have 23. Miles has 5 assists and 4 boards. Balanced scoring for the rest of the Lynx: Court-10 McBride-8 Phee-7 Tash-6 10 bench points spread across Maya/Nia/Dorka
The thing about Olivia Miles: just has poked at every pick and roll coverage teams have tried to throw out. Fever have gone drop, late switch and here an outright switch and...Miles has had the answer.
8-0 run by the Lynx gives them an 8-point lead and it's 49-41 at the 5:57 mark and White calls time. Miles heating up and now has 17 with 5 assists on 7-of-8 from the field.
1st minute of the 2nd Q challenge from Stephanie White on an Aliyah Boston foul on Toni.
End of 1: Lynx 36, Fever 32 I believe the scoreboard ops at TC incorrectly gave Mitchell a 3, ref said 2, and courtside has the score at 36-32. In arena at 36-33. Either way, highest-scoring 1st Q for the Lynx this season. 32 matches the highest scoring 1st Q for a Lynx opponent this season.
First timeout at the 4:15 mark and this is a track meet. Lynx lead 24-21. Combined the Lynx and Fever are 18-of-25 from the field and 6-of-8 from 3. Miles and Mitchell leading the way so far w/ 9 apiece.
New last name for Hamzova, who got married over All-Star Weekend! 💍 She's now Eliska Joklova
Make that seven friendless bigots. Nice of Michele Tafoya to show up and thank every single one of her voters in person.
terryhorstman@terryhorstman.bsky.social · 3d agoA sincere thought I had yesterday: where are the transphobes even gonna hold this? There’s no where feasible to even do it… Today: I guess six friendless bigots don’t need much room

Lynx still have a second dev spot to play with. Reminder that dev spot players are not eligible to play in the postseason.
terryhorstman@terryhorstman.bsky.social · 3d agoDuring pregame today Cheryl Reeve tells media that “we will not be making any trades” and that the roster as of now is “set” utilizing the Season Ending Injury exception to retain Eliška Hamzova.
