Sue Bird is pulling back the curtain on USA Basketball’s selection process ahead of the opening game of the FIBA World Cup. Olivia Miles emerged as one of the most glaring omissions from the USA Basketball FIBA World Cup roster.

The accomplishment, most recently earned for August, makes her the first rookie for the Lynx to earn the title four times.

The W.N.B.A. has never attracted more attention. But, increasingly, the conversation around the league can overshadow the game itself—and its players.

Olivia Miles posted 24 points as Minnesota extended its winning streak to six games.

It marked the first time the Minnesota Lynx lost to the Valkyries since they joined the league in 2025. The Valkyries held the Lynx to a season-low in points scored. It was a rough game for the whole team. The Lynx shot just 36% from the field and 33% from three. They also turned the ball over 18 times and gave up 21 points off those turnovers.

Minnesota Lynx rookie Olivia Miles gave a strong take about Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark.

The Minnesota Lynx’s eight-game winning streak came to an end on Sunday after losing to the Atlanta Dream, 89-81 , at Gateway Center. It was a tight affair between the two playoff-bound teams, but the Dream did enough in crunch time to fend off the Lynx.
