The former UConn star has been particularly effective over the past 10 games as the Lynx surge toward the league playoffs.
Lynx guard Crystal Dangerfield was named WNBA Rookie of the Month for August.
After 16 games, Dangerfield is averaging 15.9 points and 3.1 assists pre game. The former UConn standout has 20 or more points in three consecutive games and is averaging 19.5 points and 3.4 assists in the past 10 games.
The WNBA and its players' union weren't able to agree to a new collective bargaining agreement by the Friday night deadline, and now the league enters a ''status-quo'' period with no new extension reached.
