The 2014 WNBA season was the 16th season for the Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National Basketball Association. The Lynx were defending their 2013 WNBA Championship, seeking to become the third franchise to win three titles.[1] However, their bid fell short as they lost to the Phoenix Mercury in the conference finals.
The Lynx had a positive offseason, re-signing free agent center Janel McCarville and guard Monica Wright, two key components of the 2013 championship team. The Lynx also announced their first uniform sponsor, the Mayo Clinic.[2]
The following are the Lynx's selections in the 2014 WNBA draft.
