The WNBA ruled that McBride, who finished her commitment to the Turkish team Fenerbahce Tuesday by leading a three-game sweep in the league finals, would be eligible to play.
“Not too long ago,” said Lynx coach and general manager Cheryl Reeve during her pre-game access, when asked when the team got the news. “There are protocols, plenty of things you have to fulfill. .. She was able to clear after a couple days and bunch of tests to make sure it was safe for her to participate.”
Kayla dropped 17 points in her Lynx debut.
