The Minnesota Lynx waived their 2024 first-round pick, Alissa Pili, on Saturday afternoon — the moving coming fewer than 500 days after she was drafted.

The Chicago Sky came to play on Saturday as they faced off against the league-best Minnesota Lynx. The Sky wanted to send a statement by taking down the best team in the WNBA at the moment, and they did just that by defeating Napheesa Collier and Co., 87-81.

Minnesota will surely hope to emerge out of the gates better defensively on Monday. The Lynx surrendered 29 points in the first frame in Saturday’s nationally-televised bout, and 28 in the second as Chicago built a 13-point halftime advantage on the strength of 57% shooting.

Two teams headed in opposite directions face off on Sunday when the red-hot Minnesota Lynx (16-2) face the struggling Chicago Sky (5-11).
