Napheesa Collier, the star player for the Minnesota Lynx and a leading contender for the WNBA MVP award, remains out of action due to a sprained ankle injury. Collier has not played since August 2nd and is expected to miss the Lynx's game against the Indiana Fever on Friday. Despite the injury, Collier is making progress in her recovery and is closing in on a return to the court. The Lynx have been cautious in managing Collier's injury, prioritizing her long-term health and ensuring a full recovery before allowing her to play again. The absence of Collier, who was named an All-Star and is averaging 20.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game this season, has been a significant setback for the Lynx. The team will continue to rely on other players to step up in Collier's absence as they aim to maintain their position in the competitive WNBA standings.
