The Dallas Wings are in Minneapolis for tonight’s game against the Minnesota Lynx. Tip-off is at 7 p.m. and the game is being broadcast on FOX Sports Go.
This is the Wings’ second game against the Lynx, the defending WNBA champions, this season. Minnesota won the first match-up, 76-68, on their home court on May 23. But Dallas has come on strong since that game and now stands at fifth place in the league with a 5-4 record, while the Lynx are in eighth place at 4-6.
Dallas has added several players since that first game against the Lynx: 5-foot, 8-inch guard Leticia Romero from Spain, 6-foot and 4-inch center Cayla George from Australia. And, with veteran forward Karima Christmas-Kelly out for the season with a knee injury, the wings were granted a roster hardship exemption and have signed Teana Muldrow, a 6-foot, 1-inch forward who played college ball at West Virginia and was drafted by the Seattle Storm in the third round last spring.
