WNBA to Fine Olivia Miles $500 After Playoff Disaster

Minnesota Lynx rookie Olivia Miles faces a five-hundred-dollar financial penalty from the WNBA following a difficult postseason elimination. The New York Liberty completed a first-round playoff sweep against the top-seeded Lynx, securing victories of 91-75 and 87-71 to make tournament history as the first eighth seed to defeat a number one seed.

During the second matchup, Miles received a Flagrant 1 foul after making facial contact with Breanna Stewart while attempting a defensive block. Officials penalized the contact as unnecessary, sending Stewart to the floor and effectively ending her night early while limiting Miles to just five points before she spent the entire fourth quarter benched.
