Minnesota Lynx has given up the second -year striker Alissa Pili, according to the WNBA transactions page. Pili, who was drafted with the 8th choice in 2024, was unable to break the rotation during his first two seasons in Minnesota. Now his mandate is coming to an end.
Pili appeared in 36 games during his first two seasons, with an average of 2.2 points and 1.2 rebounds in 6.1 minutes per game. Pili’s best match this season occurred on June 14, in which she recorded 8 points in a 10 -minute stay against the Sparks. But, she never managed to break through before being canceled in mid-season.
Last year, during the WNBA final, Pili told SB Nation that obtaining regular DNP was a mental challenge.
“It certainly made me hail mentally,” she said. “I have never been in this position before, and my trainer knows it.”
However, she expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to be one of those high -level moments.
“There are not many recruits that can be in this position in which I am, and the fact that our successful team was really fun to be a part,” said Pili. “It was a great learning experience. I try to soak everything. “
Pili was an elite university player; As the first year at the University of Southern California, it has an average of 16.3 points per game, and in its senior season at its Utah University, it was one of the most effective markers in the country, with an average of 21.4 points per game on 55% shooting, while firing 40.4% beyond the arc.
The announcement occurred shortly after the defeat of 87-71 of Lynx against the sky of Chicago. The Lynx now has 18-4 on the season, the owners of the best record of the WNBA. Presumably, Minnesota will sign another player in his 12th place in place of Pili, but who will still be announced.
