She presided over a retooled Lynx roster in 2019, trading for leading scorer Odyssey Sims and key contributor Lexie Brown, while drafting rookie of the year Napheesa Collier with the sixth overall pick in this year’s draft.
“This award is a testament to the hard work of our talented staff,” Reeve said in a statement. “I am proud of the way our staff and players came together despite much adversity.”
