I found this in the Lynx archives:

May 26,2020

"MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL – Minnesota Lynx Head Coach and General Manager Cheryl Reeve today announced the team has set their roster ahead of the 2020 season by placing forward Jessica Shepard on the team’s full season suspended list."

That's it, from the Lynx. However, you've got to think that Jess is not quite back from the ACL injury she suffered in June (I believe) of 2019.

In fact, the Twin Cities Pioneer Press confirms that in an article:

"Shepard tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee early last season, an injury she continues to rehab. The 2019 second-round pick was impacted by the inability to rehab at the team’s facility for the past two months because of coronavirus concerns."

Hopefully, Jess has found a place to rehab in Minnesotra or Nebraska and is making good progress.

I knew that, but no medical updates, nothing. Radio silence. *

Who even knows when the Lynx offices and gym even opened up (remember, everyone was down in Florida)? And she's rehabbing.

Heck, I didn't eveh hear that much about Stewie throughout most of her rehab. As much as we like Shep, she's only played -- what -- six or so games before she went out with the ACL.
