Lynx clinch playoff No. 1 seed despite loss, Olivia Miles injury raises concerns

The Minnesota Lynx suffered a significant defeat, falling 96-77 to the Indiana Fever while securing the No. 1 seed for the WNBA playoffs. A late scratch due to a left calf injury, Olivia Miles did not play in the game, leading coach Cheryl Reeve to rest her starters extensively. The Lynx had previously needed to win one of their last two games or rely on Golden State's loss to secure their playoff position. The team's recent performance has been disappointing, with four losses in five games. Minnesota will host Indiana again in their final regular-season game on Thursday night as they prepare for the playoffs starting Sunday.
