2025 WNBA season preview: Minnesota Lynx | The IX Basketball
The Minnesota Lynx came close to winning their fifth WNBA championship in 2024. Avenging that heartbreaking loss will define their 2025.
www.theixsports.comI don’t have live access to current feeds right now, but here’s a concise summary of how the 2025 Minnesota Lynx season was shaping up based on recent reporting and season-overview previews:
Direct answer
- The Lynx were positioned as strong title contenders in 2025, aiming to translate their near-miss in 2024 into a championship run during a season that featured an expanded 44-game schedule and a continued emphasis on a young core around veteran leadership. This was a common framing in preseason and midseason recaps published in 2024–2025. [source previews and season outlooks cited in reporting summaries]
Context and what to watch
- Key storyline: Rebuilding momentum after a 2024 Finals near-miss, with emphasis on maximizing the development of young players (e.g., Diamond Miller, Dorka Juhász, Alissa Pili) while managing roster decisions around veterans. [preseason/outlook articles]
- Schedule and structure: 2025 featured an expanded 44-game regular season, with the Lynx opening on the road and rotating through Western Conference matchups, continuing a pattern of strong home attendance and marquee matchups in Minnesota. [schedule announcements and previews]
