Lynx cut draft pick Christina Foggie

The release of the second-round pick reduced the roster to 13.

May 13, 2014 at 7:23PM

Guard Chrstina Foggie, a second-round pick in this year's draft, was waived Tuesday by the Lynx, who open the regular season Friday at Washington. Foggie averaged 4.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists in three preseason games. She was the 24th overall pick in last year's draft.

Foggie's release leaves the roster at 13 players, one more than the limit. Barring adding a player via waivers, it appears likely the final roster spot will go to one of two rookies: forward Tricia Liston or 6-6 center Waltiea Rolle.

The Lynx open their home season Sunday against Connecticut at 4 p.m. at Target Center.
