Overview

  • Napheesa Collier sprained her ankle on August 2 and remains sidelined without a set return date, though coach Cheryl Reeve says she’s expected back before the regular season ends.
  • Minnesota signed 25-year-old forward Camryn Taylor to a second seven-day contract after she impressed in practice despite having no official WNBA game experience.
  • The Lynx have maintained a league-leading 27-5 record and hold a six-game advantage over the Atlanta Dream, positioning them to secure the No. 1 seed.
  • Kayla McBride and Courtney Williams are delivering All-Star seasons while midseason addition DiJonai Carrington has made an immediate impact in Collier’s absence.
  • Before her injury, Collier was the clear MVP front-runner, averaging 23.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game through 26 contests.
