The Minnesota Lynx (31-10) visit the Connecticut Sun (10-31) for a 2026 WNBA regular season matchup on Sunday, September 20, at Mohegan Sun Arena.
The Lynx and the Sun have split their season head-to-head series. Connecticut surprised everyone with a tightly contested 90-89 win over Minnesota on July 6, then the Lynx immediately answered with an 86-80 victory a couple of days later.
They might have beaten each other this season, but the Lynx have much more to play for on Sunday. They're trying to secure the top seed in the playoffs, with the Golden State Valkyries chasing the same goal.
However, the team with the league-best record has been stumbling recently. The Lynx have lost three straight games, all against perennial contenders like the Valkyries, Atlanta Dream, and New York Liberty. That's a bad hit for them, especially if they want to build momentum heading into the postseason.
As for the Sun, they have also lost four consecutive matches, including an embarrassing 103-59 loss to the Atlanta Dream. At this point, the Sun are out of playoff contention.
Connecticut's injury report includes Brittney Griner (out), Kennedy Burke (out), and Olivia Nelson-Ododa (out). Meanwhile, Minnesota only has Anastasiia Olairi Kosu listed on theirs.
