The Lynx added guard Grace Berger, claiming her off waivers from Indiana. The seventh overall pick in the 2023 draft, the former University of Indiana star averaged 3.9 points and 1.6 assists in 13.3 minutes in 47 games over two seasons with the Fever.

Berger was originally selected 7th overall in the 2023 WNBA Drafts by the Indiana Fever before being taken from the waivers by the Lynx. She played in two seasons for the Fever, appearing in 48 games. Details about Berger’s acquisition were not disclosed by the Lynx, per team policy.

The Lynx, who reached the WNBA Finals last season, should be able to find a way to use Berger in their pursuit of the franchise's fifth WNBA Title. As opposed to the Fever, who have eight guards listed on their official roster, there are only five guards on the Lynx roster.
