2 Jul
Summary
- Napheesa Collier has resumed practice after ankle surgeries.
- The Lynx lead the WNBA standings without Collier.
- Collier aims to help Lynx win their first championship since 2017.
Five-time All-Star forward Napheesa Collier has resumed team practice with the Minnesota Lynx, marking a significant step towards her season debut following surgery on both ankles. She expressed excitement about being back on the court after previously experiencing "FOMO" while sidelined. Collier's return is expected to significantly strengthen the Lynx's frontcourt.
The Lynx have maintained a league-leading 15-4 record in Collier's absence, largely due to the impressive performance of rookie guard Olivia Miles. Collier highlighted Miles' court vision and passing ability as particularly noteworthy.
Collier underwent surgeries on both ankles this offseason after sustaining multiple injuries during the 2025 WNBA season. She aims to help the Lynx achieve their goal of winning a championship, their first since 2017. Head coach Cheryl Reeve also confirmed that forward Dorka Juhász has resumed practice, further enhancing the team's depth.
