The Minnesota Lynx acquired veteran guard Karlie Samuelson from the Washington Mystics on Monday.
In exchange, the Mystics will receive a first-round pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft.
The Lynx acquired that additional first-round pick from the Chicago Sky on Sunday, trading their No. 11 slot in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
Samuelson, who turns 30 next month, joins her sixth team as she enters her seventh season in the league.
She averaged a career-high 8.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 29 games (19 starts) for the Mystics in 2024.
Samuelson has career averages of 5.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 105 games (45 starts) with the Los Angeles Sparks (2018-19, 2021, 2023), Dallas Wings (2019), Seattle Storm (2021), Phoenix Mercury (2022) and Mystics.
She is a career 39.7 percent shooter from 3-point range.
