Lynx waive Erica Ogwumike and Linnae Harper as WNBA teams make moves to get under salary cap

The Lynx waived guards Linnae Harper and Erica Ogwumike on Monday, bringing their roster to 13. Another move will have to be made by Tuesday afternoon to reach the mandatory 12.

The WNBA has asked teams to finalize their rosters so players can start getting paid in June. This means both Harper and Ogwumike were waived before having the opportunity to show what they could do on the practice floor.

The league put the start of training camp and the season on hold in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. That gave Lynx General Manager and coach Cheryl Reeve difficult decisions to make without the benefit of a training camp.

Harper was signed as a free agent. In her only WNBA season she played for Chicago in 2018. Ogwumike, from Rice, was acquired through a trade on draft night after New York picked her in the third round.

Rosters must be at 12 by 4 p.m. Tuesday.
