The Minnesota Lynx released three players during WNBA training camp, trimming their roster as preparations continue for the season. Among those let go was Amaya Battle, the Gophers star.
The move leaves the Lynx with a smaller group as camp moves forward, though the team did not provide details on the other two players released. Battle’s departure is the notable name in the group, given her profile as a Gophers star and the attention that comes with a cut at this stage of camp.
The release comes at a point in the preseason when teams are forced to make quick decisions and reduce crowded rosters before the regular season begins. For Battle, the cut ends this phase of her stint with Minnesota before it had a chance to settle, and for the Lynx it keeps the focus on the final roster decisions still ahead.
What remains unanswered is whether the three-player move was a temporary camp adjustment or a sign of how Minnesota wants to shape its roster going forward. For now, the only certainty is that Battle and the two unnamed players are out, and the Lynx are moving ahead with their training camp plans.
