Dear Minnesota Lynx fans and the entire community,
I hope this letter finds you all healthy and in good spirits. As I think on my fantastic adventure with the Minnesota Lynx, I am overwhelmed with gratitude and deep appreciation for your unfailing love and support. I write to you today with a grateful heart.
From the minute I joined the Lynx, I was welcomed into a community that emanates love, friendliness, and unwavering enthusiasm for the game. Your unwavering support, both on and off the court, has been an ongoing source of motivation and inspiration. Whether it was the thunderous cheers during game nights at the Target Centre or the encouraging words from fans I encountered throughout the city, your presence has been a driving factor in my development as a player and as a person.
Playing for the Lynx has been both an honour and a privilege. The camaraderie, struggles, and successes we shared helped develop me into the athlete and person I am today. The coaching staff, my teammates, and every member of the organisation have created an environment that has fostered my growth and pushed me to new heights. For this, I am eternally grateful.
To the fans, your dedication and love for the Lynx have been nothing short of incredible. Your energy lifted us through difficult times, and your faith in our team never faltered, even when confronted with obstacles. You are the Lynx’s heartbeat, and I am honoured to have been a part of such an incredible community.
As I advance in my work, I will bring with me the tremendous lessons, memories, and connections I have formed in Minnesota. Thank you for believing in me and being an important part of my path. I will always appreciate the Lynx and the time we spent together.
With sincere gratitude and respect,
Napheesa Collier
