Ever since she stepped into the WNBA, Napheesa Collier has been the face of the Minnesota Lynx. Through deep playoff runs, roster changes, injuries, and championship heartbreak, the Minnesota Lynx could always count on Phee to stay put.

Lynx head coach gives an 'unfair' response when asked if Napheesa Collier will be here long-term with the team.

One of the biggest storylines for the Lynx season – which opens at home Saturday against Atlanta – will be something off the court. The contract status of Napheesa Collier will loom large over the organization. Because the Lynx cored Collier, one of the top two players in the world, this offseason, giving Minnesota exclusive negotiating rights for a new contract. But rather than inking a ...

In recent years, the New York Liberty has quietly positioned itself as a basketball powerhouse alongside the Las Vegas Aces and the Minnesota Lynx. The team might not have won many titles to boast of, but they have also been in the conversation when discussing WNBA Championship-contending teams.

Lynx's Napheesa Collier acknowledged she took it too far talking about WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert while taking a swipe at Donald Trump.

In 2024, Caitlin Clark was the no-brainer pick. Last season, little debate ensued about Paige Bueckers’ win.

Topping the list for the second straight year is Minnesota Lynx bench boss Cheryl Reeve, who earned 53% of the votes.

It hasn’t always been perfect for Olivia Miles this preseason and training camp for Minnesota, as should be expected from a rookie attempting to take the reins of a highly successful organization — all while just grasping a new league herself. But the bright spots have been radiant. Because every time the No. 2 overall draft pick took the floor during the preseason, there were periods of play ...

It’s not often that a star-studded team like the Minnesota Lynx’s performance is transcended by a celebration that goes far beyond basketball.
