The Minnesota Lynx have bolstered their roster by claiming guard Grace Berger off waivers. Berger, who was originally drafted by the Indiana Fever as the seventh overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, now joins the Lynx after spending two seasons with the Fever, during which she appeared in 48 games. The details of her acquisition remain undisclosed, in line with the Lynx’s team policy.
During the WNBA offseason, Berger has been playing for OGM Ormanspor in the Turkish Women’s Basketball League. She has been performing well, averaging 13.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game. Additionally, she has maintained a field goal percentage of 44.7% while shooting 30.6% from beyond the three-point line.
Berger’s addition to the Lynx brings another skilled guard into their rotation. Known for her versatility, she can contribute both offensively and defensively. Her ability to score, rebound, and distribute the ball will be valuable as the Lynx continue to build their roster for the upcoming season.
Berger’s time with the Fever saw her developing as a contributor off the bench, gaining experience in the league and adjusting to the professional level of play. Now, with a fresh opportunity in Minnesota, she will look to make an impact and potentially secure a more significant role with the team.
The Lynx have been actively making moves to strengthen their squad, and Berger’s addition aligns with their focus on adding young talent with potential. As she continues playing overseas, the Lynx will be monitoring her progress and evaluating how she fits into their plans for the upcoming WNBA season.
Berger’s transition to Minnesota marks a new chapter in her career, and with her skill set and experience, she has the chance to carve out a meaningful role with her new team. Fans will be eager to see how she contributes once she joins the Lynx for the upcoming season.
