Timberwolves' Joan Beringer, Rocco Zikarsky attend Minnesota Lynx game

Minnesota Timberwolves rookies Joan Beringer and Rocco Zikarsky attended the WNBA matchup between the Connecticut Sun and Minnesota Lynx on Sunday.

Beringer and Zikarsky arrived in Minnesota over the weekend and will be introduced at a press conference on Monday. Before their introduction, they were spotted sitting courtside at the Target Center in custom-made jerseys of the hometown team.

The newest members of the Timberwolves watched the Lynx post a dominating 102-63 win over the Sun, improving to 14-2 this season. Napheesa Collier led the Lynx with 23 points and nine rebounds, and Kayla McBride added 20 points and five assists.

Beringer was selected with the 17th pick after averaging 5.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks on 64.4% shooting from the field in 64 games with Cedevita Olimpija. The Frenchman scored in double figures 11 times, including a season-high 14 points and 10 rebounds on May 27.

Zikarsky, the 45th pick, averaged 4.7 points and 3.5 rebounds on 50% shooting from the field this past season. The Australian was limited to 20 games due to a knee injury after playing 29 games in the season prior because of an ankle injury.

Beringer and Zikarsky are expected to play in the NBA Summer League with the Timberwolves, beginning on July 10 against the New Orleans Pelicans (3:30 p.m. EDT, ESPN2).
