MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Five-time All-Star Napheesa Collier is listed as probable for Minnesota\u2019s game at Seattle on Wednesday, which would be her first action since injuring her left ankle in last year\u2019s playoffs.<\/p>\n
The return of Collier, a four-time All-WNBA selection, is a major boost for a Lynx team that has more than coped with her absence. Led by All-Star rookie Olivia Miles, the Lynx are on a six-game winning streak and their 21-6 record is the league\u2019s best.<\/p>\n
Collier was second last season to Las Vegas\u2019 A\u2019ja Wilson in MVP voting for the second year in a row. She averaged 22.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.5 blocks and became only the second player ever to making at least 50% of her field goals, 40% of 3-pointers and 90% of free throws in a season.<\/p>\n
An injury to her right ankle in August forced Collier to miss three weeks. She tore three ligaments in her left ankle in Game 3 of the WNBA semifinals against Phoenix.<\/p>\n
Collier underwent surgery on both ankles in the offseason.<\/p>\n
She signed a one-year, $1.4 million supermax contract in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
