MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Minnesota Lynx lead the WNBA with a 15-2 record, and their coach is now a WNBA-All Star.
The WNBA announced Thursday night Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve was selected to be on the sidelines for the WNBA All-Star Game.
Reeve to coach All-Star Game
What we know:
The league announced the honor for Reeve after the Lynx beat the Washington Mystics 92-75 at Target Center. Reeve gets the nod as the Lynx have the best record in the WNBA, and she’ll coach Team Clark.
The Lynx are undefeated at Target Center in the regular season. Their loss to the Indiana Fever earlier this week does not count towards the regular season, as it was the title game for the Commissioner’s Cup.
