On the eve of the 2025 WNBA Draft, we have a trade that will shake up the end of the first round. Late Sunday, the Chicago Sky announced that they acquired the No. 11 overall pick from the Minnesota Lynx in exchange for a 2026 first-round pick.

The Chicago Sky and Minnesota Lynx agreed to a trade on the eve of the 2025 WNBA draft. In return for the No. 11 pick this year, Chicago sent its 2026 first-rounder to Minnesota. The Lynx previously had the option of swapping picks with the Sky and now have that asset outright.

The Chicago Sky have acquired the No. 11 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft from the Minnesota Lynx, the team announced Sunday evening. In exchange, Minnesota receives the Sky’s first-round pick in 2026. The Lynx also no longer have the right to swap 2026 first-right picks with Chicago — a pick swap they acquired last year.
