The Minnesota Lynx have bolstered their roster by signing forward Chloe Bibby to a standard contract, a move that adds to the league-leading team. The organization confirmed the transaction on Saturday, following Bibby’s stint on a developmental contract with the Chicago Sky. The 28-year-old forward, who has navigated a diverse professional path across international leagues, joins a Lynx squad currently holding a 24-6 record and riding a nine-game winning streak.
Bibby’s transition to Minnesota follows a season where she saw limited action in the WNBA. According to league records, she appeared in four games for the Chicago Sky this season, averaging 5.5 points and 1.5 assists per contest. Her path to a standard roster spot involved several stops across the league, including appearances for the Golden State Valkyries and the Indiana Fever during the previous season.
The Chicago Sky held the option to match the Lynx’s offer for a standard contract but declined to do so, as the move would have necessitated roster adjustments, such as trading or waiving another player. Consequently, Bibby becomes available to provide frontcourt and perimeter support for the Lynx, who are led on the court by Rookie of the Year frontrunner Olivia Miles.
Offensive Versatility and International Experience
While Bibby is not expected to immediately anchor the starting rotation, she brings a proven shooting profile to Minnesota. Throughout her WNBA appearances, she has demonstrated efficiency from beyond the arc, maintaining a 38.9% shooting percentage from three-point range. Her recent performance underscores her scoring potential, highlighted by an 8-point, 2-assist outing against the Connecticut Sun and a career-high 14-point performance against the Seattle Storm on July 15.
Bibby’s professional maturity is largely rooted in her experience overseas. Following her collegiate career at Mississippi State and the University of Maryland, she spent significant time playing in Europe. Her resume includes earning the Polish league MVP title in 2024, where she averaged 20.9 points and 5.9 rebounds, followed by a Spanish league MVP honor in 2025.
Roster Impact and Team Standing
The addition of Bibby comes as the Minnesota Lynx solidify their position at the top of the WNBA standings. With a 24-6 record, the team has relied on a balanced attack that features All-Stars Courtney Williams, Natasha Howard, and Kayla McBride.
