Temi Fagbenle’s spell at the Minnesota Lynx has been ended by a trade.
The Great Britain centre, currently at Italian side Venezia, was included in a deal with the Indiana Fever.
The move gave them the exclusive negotiating rights for Fagbenle, who was not formally under contract with the Lynx, with whom she won a WNBA Championship in 2017.
The Lynx traded the player contract of Odyssey Sims, Fagbenle’s rights, Minnesota’s own 2022 first round pick and Minnesota’s own 2022 third round pick to Indiana in exchange for Indiana’s own 2022 second round pick.
The British star last played in the league in 2019 but her return this summer could be facilitated with no conflicts with international duty from GB.
Once a champ, always a champ.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
