Minnesota Lynx History
The Lynx joined the WNBA in 1999 as an expansion team alongside the now-defunct Orlando Miracle.
After an underwhelming first decade, the Lynx entered a transformative new era after appointing Cheryl Reeve as head coach in 2010. Having only reached the playoffs on 2 occasions in their first 12 seasons, the Lynx reached the WNBA Finals 6 times in 7 seasons between 2011 and 2017, winning 4 championships.
The period catapulted the Lynx into contention as one of the WNBA's most successful teams.
