Lynx Head Coach Cheryl Reeve Mad at WNBA for Spotlighting Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever
Cheryl Reeve and the Minnesota Lynx are tipping their exhibition season off tonight against the Chicago Sky, but you wouldn’t know it from the WNBA’s social media feed, which chose to highlight the Indiana Fever versus Dallas Wings in Caitlin Clark’s preseason debut instead.
Cheryl Reeve mad at Caitlyn Clark?
So, Reeve responded by quote tweeting information about the Lynx’s preseason debut. Yet, as Reeve pointed out, fans aren’t even able to watch the Lynx start their season, unless they’re at the Target Center.
ALSO in action tonight – @minnesotalynx vs @chicagosky 7pm CST. Though fans won't be able to watch, #Lynx fans can go to the Lynx app to follow along via play by play. Or if you are in market, come to the game…as we start the season off right ✅#12teams #theWismorethanoneplayer https://t.co/Wp5vwt8ucK

Our favorite part of the tweet was Reeve perhaps mocking the tweet’s words, “Let’s start this season off right,” followed by a checkmark. As you may or may not have noticed, Reeve ended her message with a very similar tone, “…as we start the season off right,” followed by that same green checkmark.
Was Reeve upset that the WNBA’s official social media page chose to omit the Lynx from their mentions? Yes, she clearly was. Considering there are just two games on today’s schedule, did Cheryl not expect that at least one of those games would be Caitlyn Clark?

It may be difficult for Reeve and other WNBA players/coaches to wrap their brains around it but Caitlyn Clark is going to make woman in the NBA a lot more money than they are making today. Cheryl and others should embrace that, not push it away.
Apologies!

Our App is incorrectly showing that every preseason game (including CHI vs MIN) is available on League Pass. But you *can* watch IND vs DAL tonight at 8pm ET in a FREE preview of WNBA League Pass on the WNBA App. Also streaming free on the app will be the Canada Game… pic.twitter.com/4JGk82N3gM
