Lynx media day was yesterday. The big question is: how is Katie Smith's knee?

The answer: it's coming along, but Minnesota is going to be careful. "I'm on a short leash right now," she said. "It is frustrating because you want to do everything you've done in the past."

"As you get older, and a couple of knee surgeries later, you have to pick and choose. Is an exhibition game as important as a midseason game? I can't play like I used to when I played eight hours a day. I have to pace myself."
