Is Olivia Miles playing tonight? Lynx vs. Mystics injury report

The Minnesota Lynx have been red hot throughout the 2026 WNBA season. Olivia Miles has kept the Lynx on top of the league standings thanks to her dominant rookie campaign. Her high level of play helped make up for the absence of Napheesa Collier earlier in the season.

Next up for the Lynx is a road game against the Mystics. Minnesota has already secured their spot in the postseason, but that doesn’t mean they can take their foot off the gas. Unfortunately, two of Minnesota’s best players popped up on the injury report before Friday’s showdown with Washington.

Will Miles be able to suit up for tonight’s game against the Mystics?

Fortunately, it looks like there is a chance that Minnesota’s superstar rookie could play tonight.

Miles is listed as probable on the injury report with a left ankle injury. Miles limped back to the locker room late in the fourth quarter against the Valkyries on Wednesday. The good news is her injury does not appear to be that serious.

The Lynx will also be without star Napheesa Collier. The veteran is getting a rest day, as Minnesota looks to keep her fresh ahead of the playoffs next month.

Meanwhile, the Mystics do not have any players on the injury report ahead of tonight’s game. They will be at full strength and should be hungry to get a win against the WNBA’s best team. Washington is currently ranked 6th in the WNBA standings, but they need to keep winning games to fend off New York and Dallas for playoff seeding.

Lynx at Mystics tips off at 7:30PM ET tonight from CareFirst Arena in Washington.
