A Global Championship Week for the Lynx!
As the 2026 season kicks off, the Lynx players are spreading their wings across the globe, and what a week it's been! With championships and impressive performances, let's dive into the latest news and uncover the stories behind these talented athletes.
Unrivaled and Overseas: Lynx Players Take Center Stage
While some Lynx players are gearing up for Unrivaled, an exciting domestic league, others are showcasing their skills overseas. Here's a breakdown of their journeys so far:
Courtney Williams: Williams, a key player for Team Vinyl in Unrivaled, has had an up-and-down start offensively. Despite this, she's making her mark with solid contributions in distribution and rebounding.
Alanna Smith: Smith, a first-time Unrivaled participant, is making waves with The Mist. She's been a lockdown presence in the paint and a consistent contributor on both ends of the court.
Natisha Hiedeman: Hiedeman, a returning champion with Rose, has faced a slight dip in performance with Hive. However, her strong opening night performance sets a high bar for the rest of the season.
Kayla McBride: McBride, a Turkish powerhouse with Fenerbahçe, continues to excel. Her recent near triple-double performance showcases her all-around talent.
Bridget Carleton: Carleton, playing in the Czech Republic with USK Praha, is leaving her mark in multiple areas. Her recent deep-range shooting display and well-rounded performances are a sight to behold.
Jessica Shepard: Shepard, now in Italy with Famila Schio, is dominating the boards and putting up impressive numbers. Her double-double machine status is a force to be reckoned with.
Maria Kliundikova: Back in her home country with UMMC Yekateringburg, Kliundikova is having a balanced offseason. Her all-around impact is a key asset for her team.
Dorka Juhász: Juhász, playing in Turkey with Galatasaray, is making her presence felt on both ends of the court. Her recent near double-double performance showcases her versatility.
Anastasiia Olairi Kosu: Kosu, playing alongside Kliundikova in Russia, is off to a strong start. Her well-balanced showing is a promising sign for her development.
Maia Hirsch: Hirsch, still developing in France with Charleville-Mezieres, had a solid start to the offseason. Her recent performance against Bridget Carleton was a tough but valuable experience.
Camryn Taylor: Taylor, who joined the Lynx late last season, is now in France with Landerneau Bretagne Basket. Her recent double-digit outings are a positive sign, but she hasn't appeared in any games since November.
Athletes Unlimited: The Next Chapter
While most Lynx players are already in action, one more player, Jaylyn Sherrod, will be joining the fast-paced Athletes Unlimited league in February. This full-court, 5-on-5 league promises an exciting addition to the Lynx's offseason narrative.
