Lynx offseason outlook: How Minnesota can get over the hump in 2025 after runner-up finish
The Lynx fell one win short of a record-setting fifth title
secure-www.cbssports.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]
