Did you know: The Minnesota Lynx will return all of their starters from last season, including 99.7% of minutes played and 99.8% of their points from a year ago?! Minnesota finished two games behind Las Vegas in last year’s standings, and the Aces will have plenty of eyes on the sidelines this season as Becky Hammon makes her WNBA coaching debut. Depending on the sports book, the Aces will enter the 2022 season as either the favorites or co-favorites to lift the trophy later this year.<\/p>\n
