The Minnesota Lynx are getting one of their injured players back ahead of Tuesday night’s game.
The team says forward Natalie Achonwa, who has been out since suffering a hamstring injury on May 8, has been cleared to return.
In a corresponding move, the team released center Elissa Cunane from her hardship contract.
Achonwa has only played in two games so far this season, her second in a Lynx uniform.
Minnesota has the worst record in the league (3-13) going into Tuesday’s game against the Phoenix Mercury.
