Napheesa Collier Probable for Lynx at Storm in Her First Action Since Last Year's Playoffs

The WNBA MVP runner-up is expected back after ankle surgeries and a playoff injury that kept her out since Sept. 27, 2025.

  • On Wednesday, Five-time All-Star Napheesa Collier is listed as probable for the Minnesota Lynx to face the Seattle Storm, marking her first appearance since injuring her left ankle during last year's playoffs.
  • Collier underwent surgeries on both ankles during the offseason, following a severe left ankle injury sustained during a playoff loss to the Phoenix Mercury in September 2025.
  • Despite her absence, the Lynx hold the league's best 21-6 record, driven by rookie Olivia Miles and Kayla McBride's consistent play at 39.4% from 3-point range.
  • Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve noted Collier "holds herself to a different standard" and seeks to return without minute restrictions, refusing to accept anything less than full performance.
  • Wednesday marks the final game before the WNBA All-Star break; if Collier remains sidelined, her next opportunity to play is July 28 against the Toronto Tempo.
