Alissa Pili, the Lynx’s No. 8 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, was waived mid-road trip and kicked out of her hotel postgame.

Alissa Pili is no longer a member of the Minnesota Lynx. The 24-year-old was waived by the reigning WNBA runners-up right in the middle of a road trip.

The Lynx looked out of sorts and fatigued in their 11th game in 21 days, and players and coach Cheryl Reeve criticized the schedule.

The playes enjoy interacting with fans, and it was evident after Napheesa Collier's recent moment with a child.

A'ja Wilson scored 34 points, Jackie Young added 30, including her team's final 10 points and the Las Vegas Aces beat the Golden State Valkyries 104-102 on Saturday.

Ariel Atkins scored 27 points, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso each had a double-double and the Chicago Sky beat the Minnesota Lynx 87-81 on Saturday.

Collier went off as well, dropping a team-high 26 points with eight boards, five assists, three steals, and three blocks, but in the end, Reese and Co. secured a wire-to-wire victory, 87-81, to hand Minnesota just its fourth loss of the season.
