Minnesota Lynx

2011. 2013. 2015. 2017.

Take a quick glance inside Target Center in Minneapolis and you’ll see four banners waving in the rafters, showing the dominance of the Minnesota Lynx throughout much of the decade, especially in the odd years. Add in conference championships in 2012 and 2016 and you see what has become the WNBA’s dynasty in a city that hasn’t won a professional championship on the men’s side since 1991. With Lindsay Whalen retired and across town coaching the Golden Gophers and Maya Moore taking the year off, this year’s roster looks much different than the ones that have competed for championships through the 2010s. In 2019, do they have what it takes to compete?

“We knew that going into it (this season) that we had so many new faces, new players,” Lynx head coach and general manager Cheryl Reeve said when asked what has jumped out at her since the start of camp. “We also want to adjust how we are doing some things. Things that worked for eight years but now with a different group we added some new things for even the veterans to have to get a hold of.”
