Miles, the No. 2 pick from the 2026 WNBA Draft, had 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Lynx. She’s been sensational all season long, averaging 17.8 points per game on 53.2% shooting from the field.

Fudd, on the other hand, had just six points in 30 minutes of action Tuesday. The No. 1 pick from UConn hasn’t been a disappointment by any means (11.4 points per game), but she hasn’t been able to match Miles’ production on a nightly basis.

After the Lynx secured a win over the Wings, the official social media team for Minnesota posted a side-by-side comparison of Fudd and Miles’ stats.

Fans of Fudd were so furious with this graphic from the Lynx that it was quickly taken down.

Soft move by the Lynx?

While there’s no doubt Wings fans are annoyed right now, the rest of the WNBA community believes the Lynx should’ve kept the graphic about Fudd and Miles up.

Besides, the Lynx were simply comparing the top rookies from this year’s draft.

“Man an official account can’t even post game stats without fans getting their feelings hurt. This is their first time watching sports tho so I guess we can’t be too surprised,” one fan said.

“This league is not serious. On what planet is the #1 and #2 picks not compared when they play against each other?” a second fan commented.

“Uconn fans the definition of dishing it and not being able to take it,” a third fan wrote.

“Crying over stats in professional sports is pathetic. The WNBA isn’t a church league for kids – it’s professional players,” another fan declared.

For what it’s worth, Dallas and Minnesota will square off again on June 28. There’ll be plenty of fans eager to watch that rematch.
