Napheesa Collier missed over three weeks with a sprained ankle, but it was hard to tell she'd been gone at all as the Lynx forward made her return against the Fever on Sunday. Collier, who had not played since Aug. 2, led both teams in scoring and rebounds, tallying 32 points, nine rebounds and two assists in the 97–84 win over Indiana.
“It definitely felt good," Collier said of her return after the game. "I feel like I had to knock a little bit of the rust off, Courtney could have had 11 assists. More than anything it felt good to be back with the team. It feels like you're on the outside when you're not playing. They're playing, I'm having such FOMO, it feels so good to be on the court with them again."
