Olivia Miles set to miss first game with calf injury for Lynx

Olivia Miles, leading guard for the Minnesota Lynx, will miss her first game due to a right calf injury on July 6. Although she has been a frontrunner for the WNBA Rookie of the Year, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve confirmed that the team is being cautious after Miles experienced cramping in a recent game. This season, she averages 18.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game. The Lynx, holding a 15-5 record, will face the Connecticut Sun without her, relying on veterans like Natasha Howard and Courtney Williams to fill the gap.
