Griffin

Griffin, the 37th overall pick in the April 14 WNBA Draft, was not included on the Lynx’s training camp roster. And the reason is now known, as she will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on her left knee. A timeline for recovery will not be known until after Griffin’s surgery.

Injuries slowed Griffin during her final two seasons at UConn, as she appeared in 30 games. Making 16 appearances in 2024-25, the 6-foot-1 forward averaged 4.4 points and 3.4 rebounds while shooting 59.5 percent from the field. Griffin’s stats weren’t impressive, but, at her best, she is an athletic wing who can provide value, especially as a defender. Griffin joins the Lynx, an excellent roster headlined by another UConn alumna in Napheesa Collier. Making the team will be difficult, but Griffin’s athleticism and defensive ability give her a shot.
