The Minnesota Lynx signed guard Odyssey Sims to a training camp contract and waived six players on Tuesday.
Sims played two seasons with the Lynx, earning WNBA All-Star honors in 2019 and helping the squad reach the WNBA semifinals in 2020.
Sims, 29, averaged 8.7 points, 3.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30 games (21 starts) last season with the Atlanta Dream.
