The Minnesota Lynx are an American professional basketball team based in Minneapolis, playing in the Western Conference in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The team won the WNBA title in 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017, and also lost the WNBA finals in 2012 and 2016.
Founded prior to the 1999 season, the team is owned by Glen Taylor, who is also the majority owner of the Lynx' NBA counterpart, the Minnesota Timberwolves. The franchise has been home to players such as Katie Smith,[4] Seimone Augustus,[5] native Minnesotan Lindsay Whalen,[6] Maya Moore,[7] Rebekkah Brunson, and Sylvia Fowles.
The Lynx have qualified for the WNBA playoffs in 12 of their 21 years.[citation needed]
