The Minnesota Lynx began the 2025 WNBA regular season against rookie number one overall pick Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings on Friday night, rekindling hopes for a WNBA Finals run. The Lynx's most well known star player, Napheesa Collier, scored 14 points in her first 13 minutes of game action, helping to pace her team in the early going.

The Lynx and Wings will tip off at 7:30 p.m. The Lynx finished with a 30-10 regular season record last year, second only to the reigning WNBA champion New York Liberty. The Liberty and the Lynx battled for the title in the finals last year, in which the Liberty were ultimately victorious.
