The Lynx lost starting forward Damiris Dantas for the remainder of the WNBA season after she was diagnosed with a Lisfranc injury in her right foot.
Dantas, 28, was evaluated at the Mayo Clinic on Thursday; surgery will not be required.
The 6-foot-3 Brazilian was averaging 7.7 points in 24 games, 20 of them starts. She left Tuesday's victory against the Liberty at Target Center early in the second half.
