Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles throws football during practice session

Minnesota Lynx guard Olivia Miles participated in a lighthearted football session during a team practice, appearing in a video that gained traction online. The footage shows Miles throwing long passes on the field, which prompted social media users to compare her athletic ability to the current quarterback situation at the Minnesota Vikings. While the Vikings navigate roster questions involving Kyler Murray and J. J. McCarthy, the Lynx remain focused on the final portion of their WNBA regular season. The team currently holds a lead in the league standings as they prepare for the remainder of their schedule. Once the FIBA World Cup concludes, Miles is expected to return to league action to finish her rookie campaign. The viral video serves as a brief distraction for the Lynx as they head toward the end of their current season.
