The Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve on Saturday has been suspended by the WNBA for Game 4 of the semifinal game against the Phoenix Mercury. This comes after she was ejected during the final minute of the 84-76 defeat to the Mercury in Game 3 on Friday.

Her postgame presser's unloading on the officials also led to the suspension. Reeve and assistant coaches Eric Thibault and Rebekkah Brunson have also been fined by the league.
