Summary
- Olivia Miles' ankle injury caused concern but did not stop Lynx's win.
- She celebrated the victory with her team after the game.
- Miles had a standout college career before being drafted second overall.
During Wednesday's game, Minnesota Lynx rookie Olivia Miles suffered what appeared to be an ankle injury late in the fourth quarter. She was helped off the court and did not return, though the Lynx went on to secure a 96-87 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks. Miles contributed 18 points, four rebounds, and five assists in 26 minutes played.
Fans' worries were alleviated post-game as Miles was seen celebrating the win with her teammates, performing the team's "Electric Slide" and walking without a limp. This eased concerns following her departure from the game.
Miles' basketball journey includes a notable collegiate career, starting at Notre Dame before transferring to TCU. After redshirting the 2023-24 season due to injury, she had a dominant campaign with TCU, earning Big 12 Player of the Year honors. She was subsequently selected as the No. 2 overall pick in the WNBA draft by the Minnesota Lynx.
