Highlights:

Lindsey Moore (born June 3, 1991) is an American professional basketball player, who formerly played for the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA, Virtus Elite La Spezia of LegA Basket Femminile and the Australian Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) for the West Coast Waves.[1]

Moore is a point guard, and played college basketball at the University of Nebraska, where she was an AP All-American.[2]

Moore was drafted in the first round by the Lynx, and made the team out of training camp. She is currently a backup guard on the team.[3] She made her professional debut on June 1, 2013, in a victory over the Connecticut Sun.[4] Her playing time in the early season was limited, as she played behind all-WNBA point guard Lindsay Whalen; however, as the season progressed, Moore's playing time increased, and by the playoffs, she was often the second guard off the bench for a team that won the WNBA championship.

Moore was cut from the Lynx on June 24, 2014.[5] She was raised in Covington, Washington.[6]
