Reeve’s shirt drew attention to the debate around Cunningham as supporters rallied outside Target Center and the Lynx won 108-100.
- On Sunday, Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wore a "Trans Kids Belong" T-shirt during her team's game against the Indiana Fever, a gesture widely viewed as a direct response to Indiana guard Sophie Cunningham.
