Courtney Williams scored a season-high 26 points, Kayla McBride hit a deep 3-pointer with 30.8 seconds left and the Minnesota Lynx beat the defending WNBA champion New York Liberty 86-80.

The Lynx are riding a five-game winning streak despite Napheesa Collier -- a top candidate for WNBA MVP -- currently out for at least two weeks with an ankle injury. On Tuesday, they became the first team to clinch a playoff spot and have a big lead in the race for the No. 1 seed.

Before joining Brittney Griner on the Atlanta Dream, Sika Kone played 11 games with the Washington Mystics during the 2025 season. Throughout the season, Kone posted 2.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.
