Lynx Host Aces in WNBA Matchup on June 17

Minneapolis, Minnesota – The Minnesota Lynx will host the Las Vegas Aces in a highly anticipated WNBA game on June 17, 2025, starting at 8:00 p.m. ET at Target Center.

The Aces are looking to bounce back from a surprising 70-76 loss to the Phoenix Mercury, while the Lynx are riding high after a commanding 101-78 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks. The Lynx are currently strong, ranking second in the league in scoring with an average of 85.9 points per game and leading the WNBA in field goal percentage at 47.5%. Their defense is also impressive, allowing only 75.9 points per game, which ranks third in the league.

The Aces, on the other hand, are struggling this season, sitting in seventh place in scoring with 80.8 points per game and ninth in points allowed at 83.1 per game. They have a field goal percentage of 38.9%, the second-lowest in the league.

Key players to watch include Napheesa Collier of the Lynx, who averages 26.1 points per game along with 8.8 rebounds, and A’ja Wilson of the Aces, who scores 20.9 points per game and pulls down 9.6 rebounds. The Lynx are dealing with some player absences, including Cheyenne Parker-Tyus, who is out for personal reasons, and Megan Gustafson, who is sidelined due to a leg injury.

When these two teams met last season, the Lynx emerged victorious in three consecutive games against the Aces by double-digit margins. Their most recent match took place on June 12, 2024, where the Lynx took home a 100-86 win.
