The trade extinguishes Minnesota's right to a 2026 pick swap, giving the Lynx the Sky's first-rounder outright.
Now, Chicago has both the No. 10 and No. 11 overall picks in Monday's draft. While Minnesota is down to just three picks: two in the second round (No. 15 and No. 24 overall) and one in the third (No. 37 overall).
