Minnesota Lynx rookie guard Olivia Miles made her return to the court on Saturday after missing two games with a right calf strain, and she picked up right where she left off. Miles made an immediate impact in her comeback, hitting four 3-pointers on her way to 23 points, plus five rebounds and four assists, as the Lynx defeated the New York Liberty 90-85. The win was Minnesota's second straight and fourth in its last six games, keeping the Lynx (17-6) tied with the Las Vegas Aces for the best record in the league.
Her absence had been a notable gap for a Lynx roster already missing franchise player Napheesa Collier, who is still recovering from offseason surgery on both ankles. Fortunately, with Miles back and picking up right where she left off, Minnesota appears to be trending healthier at a pivotal point in the season.
