The 2025 Minnesota Lynx season is the 27th season for the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association, and the sixteenth season under head coach Cheryl Reeve.

Contents

The season tipped-off on Friday, May 16, 2025, in Dallas against the Wings. [1]

The Lynx went under a few changes in the offseason following the 2024 season. General Manager Clare Duwelius left to become the Executive Vice President and General Manager, for the new women's 3x3 basketball league Unrivaled. [2] Forward Cecilia Zandalasini was selected in the Golden State Valkyries expansion draft. [3] After coming over to Minnesota in a trade at the end of the season, Myisha Hines-Allen signed with the Dallas Wings in February 2025. [4] Assistant Coach Katie Smith left to take an assistant position at her alma mater Ohio State, which allowed the Lynx to hire Eric Thibault and Lindsay Whalen to their staff. [5] [6]
