Overview

• Saturday’s regular-season rematch tips off at 2 p.m. ET inside Target Center in Minneapolis and will air nationally on CBS with streaming available on DirecTV, FuboTV and Paramount+.
• Minnesota has secured the WNBA’s best record at 27-5, clinching a playoff berth and signing Camryn Taylor to a second seven-day contract for added frontcourt depth.
• Star forward Napheesa Collier is sidelined by a right ankle sprain and listed as doubtful for today’s game, with coach Cheryl Reeve anticipating her return before the regular season ends.
• Defending champion New York will be without Breanna Stewart, Isabelle Harrison and Nyara Sabally in the frontcourt, increasing reliance on Sabrina Ionescu and Emma Meesseman.
• The matchup reprises the 2024 WNBA Finals pairing and serves as a barometer for both teams’ championship aspirations and playoff seeding.
