Cheryl Reeve Shades Indiana Fever, Questions Why Lynx Only Have 2 WNBA All-Stars

Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve expressed dissatisfaction with WNBA All-Star selections, arguing her league-leading team (17-2 record) deserved more than two All-Stars—Napheesa Collier (fan-voted captain) and Courtney Williams (coach-selected reserve). Reeve specifically noted players like Kayla McBride and Alanna Smith were overlooked while lower-ranked teams received multiple selections, citing the 9-9 Indiana Fever and 12-7 Seattle Storm (three All-Stars each) as examples.

Reeve has a history of critical remarks toward Caitlin Clark, including alleged involvement in Clark's omission from the U.S. Olympic team. She further targeted Clark in a since-deleted social media post promoting a Lynx game, using hashtags "#theWismorethanoneplayer" and "#12teams" to downplay Clark's prominence. When a commenter suggested broadcasters "only care about Caitlin," Reeve replied "That part," reinforcing perceptions of her bitterness toward Clark's popularity.
