The Minnesota Lynx announced the signing of forward Chloe Bibby on August 1 after the Chicago Sky opted not to match Minnesota's offer by the deadline. Chicago's inability to create salary cap space led to this decision, despite their interest in retaining Bibby. The Lynx will pay her the prorated minimum salary for the remainder of the season. Bibby has previously played for teams in both the WNBA and overseas, recently achieving success in Spain. Her signing also comes as Minnesota continues a strong season, recently securing their ninth consecutive win.
