Cheryl Reeve Breaks WNBA Record for Regular-Season Wins

The 380th victory cements a coaching legacy built on multiple titles and recent Hall of Fame recognition.

Overview

  • Reeve reached 380 regular-season wins when the Minnesota Lynx beat the Connecticut Sun 86-80, a game in which Kayla McBride scored 23 points.
  • Her total surpasses Mike Thibault's previous mark of 379 and makes Reeve the new leader in regular-season coaching victories.
  • Reeve has led the Lynx since 2010, won four WNBA championships and four Coach of the Year awards, coached Team USA to Olympic gold in 2024, and was recently inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame.
  • The game featured notable injuries and absences: Connecticut’s Saniya Rivers left in a wheelchair with a left ankle sprain, Minnesota rookie Olivia Miles missed the game with a calf strain, and Connecticut’s Brittney Griner and Aneesah Morrow did not play.
  • The milestone arrives while Minnesota handles short-term roster issues and a brief two-game skid that could affect rotations and the race near the top of the standings.
