The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx will clash in the 2024 WNBA Finals. From key players to how to watch and more, here's a full preview.
Starting with finals history, it may be surprising to hear New York has never won the WNBA title, going 0-5 all time. It made the 2023 finals but lost to Las Vegas in four games, and also reached the stage in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2002.On the opposite side, the Lynx have won four WNBA titles, all coming within the same decade. Minnesota first lifted the title in 2011 and most recently did so in 2017. The other two wins came in 2013 and 2015, a coincidental odd-year stretch.
Jonquel Jones and Leonie Fiebich are also averaging double-digit points as starters, while Courtney Vandersloot plays important reserve minutes.While New York has Stewart and Ionescu sharing the starpower burden, Minnesota is predominantly propelled by do-it-all star Napheesa Collier, the current Defensive Player of the Year. The four-time All-Star has been a solo menace in the postseason, averaging over 27 points, nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks with a 53/44/90 shooting split.
