The Minnesota Lynx are a professional women's basketball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, competing in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). Founded in 1998, they began play in the 1999 season and have established themselves as one of the league's most successful franchises, capturing four WNBA championships between 2011 and 2017. The team plays its home games at the Target Center, which it shares with the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves[1]. The Lynx have been home to notable players such as Maya Moore, Sylvia Fowles, and Seimone Augustus, all of whom have contributed significantly to the team’s legacy and competitive success. Ownership of the team changed in 2024, with former MLB star Alex Rodriguez and entrepreneur Marc Lore taking over, marking a new chapter in the franchise’s business and organizational development[1]. In recent years, the Lynx have experienced fluctuations in performance. After finishing eighth in 2022 and missing the playoffs, they improved to fifth place in 2023 under head coach Cheryl Reeve. The 2025 season has seen a remarkable turnaround, with the Lynx leading the Western Conference with a strong 34-10 record and a .773 winning percentage. Key players include Napheesa Collier, who leads the team in points per game (22.9) and steals, Jessica Shepard leading in rebounds (7.3), and Courtney Williams leading in assists (6.2)[2][3]. The team’s colors—blue, green, and gray—were refreshed with new uniforms in 2021 to celebrate the WNBA’s 25th anniversary, reflecting both tradition and modern branding efforts. The Lynx continue to be a prominent figure not only in women’s basketball but also as a business entity adapting to evolving ownership and competitive landscapes[1][4].
