Napheesa Colliers Injury Impacts Minnesota Lynxs Lineup: Napheesa Collier, a five-time All-Star, will miss the first month of the 2026 WNBA season due to ankle surgery. Despite the setback, her recovery is progressing better than expected. Collier recently signed a one-year supermax deal with the Minnesota Lynx, but her absence will be felt as the team lost key players in the offseason. The Lynx re-signed veterans Kayla McBride and Courtney Williams, and added Natasha Howard, Nia Coffey, and a couple of Czech players. They also drafted Olivia Miles, who averaged 19.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 6.6 assists last season. With Collier out, Williams will play point, Miles will run the show, McBride will be on the wing, Howard will be inside, and Dorka Juhasz will round out the lineup. Once Collier returns, shell slide right back into the lineup. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
