Lynx hold off Sparks 96-87 amid Olivia Miles injury concern

Kayla McBride scored 24 points as the Minnesota Lynx secured a 96-87 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on July 17. The win was marred by an ankle injury to rookie Olivia Miles, who left the game in the fourth quarter after rolling her ankle but later returned to the bench. Despite Miles' absence, the Lynx outscored the Sparks 28-20 in the final period. Nneka Ogwumike led the Sparks with 23 points and 12 rebounds, tying a franchise milestone in the process. Minnesota will face the Portland Fire next, while Los Angeles heads to Chicago to face the Sky.
