Lynx at a glance: The key question for the Lynx (8-7) is the status of Seimone Augustus. She missed Saturday's 73-65 loss at San Antonio because of a sprained big toe on her right foot. The Lynx, who were averaging 82.3 points per game, tied a season-low 65 and attempted 17 three-pointers but made three. The Silver Bullets kept rookie guard Candice Wiggins from driving to the basket; she had 15 points but attempted only two free throws. Wiggins, starting in place of Augustus, missed her first eight shots and finished six of 18 from the field. The Lynx outrebounded San Antonio 49-40 but shot 36.6 percent from the field. Four of their next six games are away.
Chicago at a glance: In their first game this season, the Lynx beat the Sky 75-69 on May 29 in Chicago. Sky 6-6 rookie Sylvia Fowles had 16 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks. But Fowles, the No. 2 pick in the WNBA draft this spring, hasn't played since spraining a knee June 3. She is expected to return in mid-July. Chicago (4-9) is 3-5 without her. The Sky ended a five-game losing streak Saturday, beating Detroit 76-59. Candice Dupree, a 6-2 forward averaging 16.2 points per game, had 18 points and eight rebounds. Guard Jia Perkins averages 16.8 ppg. The third-year Sky is 3-2 all-time against the Lynx.
