Lynx to retire jersey numbers of Seimone Augustus, Rebekkah Brunson
The ceremony for Augustus will be Sunday, the one for Brunson on July 3.
The Lynx have announced the dates they will retire the numbers of Seimone Augustus and Rebekkah Brunson.
Augustus' No. 33 and Brunson's No. 32 will join Lindsay Whalen's No. 13 as jerseys retired by the four-time WNBA champions.
The ceremony for Augustus will be Sunday at 5:25 p.m. before a 6 p.m. game against the Los Angeles Sparks at Target Center.
Augustus, a starter on four league championship teams, is an assistant coach for Los Angeles. She retired after a career during which she became the Lynx franchise leader in points and games. She was an eight-time All-Star and MVP of the 2011 WNBA Finals when the Lynx won their first championship.
Brunson's ceremony is July 3 before a game against the Las Vegas Aces.
She won five WNBA titles, the first with Sacramento and four with the Lynx, and is the Lynx franchise leader in rebounds. A five-time All-Star, Brunson, now a Lynx assistant coach, is second in league history in rebounds behind only Lynx center Sylvia Fowles.
Widely known that Minnesota sports fans are among the most suffering in the nation, this holiday season has the chance to become special, given the recent success of the Vikings, Wolves, Lynx and Wild.
