Fri, Jul 4, 2025, 4:15 AM

MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL – The WNBA announced tonight that Minnesota Lynx Head Coach and President of Business Operations Cheryl Reeve will coach in the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game. Reeve clinched the honor following tonight’s 92-75 win over the Washington Mystics, moving the Lynx to a league-leading 15-2 record on the season. With the best record in the league, Reeve will lead Team Clark, who received the highest number of fan votes. 

This marks the fourth time in Reeve’s career being named the All-Star Head Coach (2013, 2014, 2017), and she remains the only coach in franchise history to be named a Head Coach of the All-Star Game. Reeve led Team USA against Team WNBA in the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game in Phoenix.  

In her 16th season as Head Coach and second as President of Basketball Operations for the Lynx, Reeve has compiled 345 regular season wins, the second-most wins in league history. Since taking over in 2010, Reeve’s .654 winning percentage makes her one of just three coaches to win more than 60% of their games (Van Chancellor, .655, Becky Hammon, 95; min 100 wins). 

Hired ahead of the 2010 season, Reeve was named the 2024 WNBA Coach of the Year and the 2024 Basketball Executive of the Year, marking her fourth Coach of the Year honor (2011, 2016, 2020, 2024) and second Basketball Executive of the Year honor (2019, 2024).  

Reeve has led the Lynx to 49 career playoff victories, the most in the WNBA, and holds the highest postseason winning percentage of .636 (49-28) in league history. She is the only head coach to guide a single franchise to the WNBA Playoffs in 11 consecutive seasons, representing the second-longest streak in league history (Indiana, 2005–2016). 

Sandy Brondello of the New York Liberty will coach Team Collier, who received the second most fan votes. 

The 2025 AT&T WNBA All-Star Game is slated to be played on July 19 at 7:30 p.m. CT at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind. The remaining 12 WNBA All-Star reserves will be revealed on Sunday, July 6 at 11:00 a.m. CT on WNBA social media platforms.
