Dangerfield Joins Moore Among Elite Lynx Rookies

August 28, 2020

In 25:48 minutes off the bench, Odyssey Sims contributed 17 points, a season-high nine assists and career-high-tying seven rebounds becoming the first WNBA bench player (third Lynx player overall) to register that stat line. Sims joins Lindsay Whalen (twice) and Maya Moore as the only Lynx players with such stat line.

The Lynx were led by Crystal Dangerfield with 23 points, nine of those points coming from the free-throw line (9-of-10). She added four rebounds and two assists. Her 23 points mark her fourth 20+ point game of the season, the most by a Lynx rookie since Maya Moore had 5 such games in 2011.

Napheesa Collier contributed 19 points on 6-of-8 shooting and 12 rebounds for her fourth double-double of the season. With her stat line tonight, she also became the seventh Lynx player to have 15+ points/10+ rebounds/3+ blocks in a game.
