Napheesa Collier had a tremendous 2024 season for the Minnesota Lynx, winning Defensive Player of the Year and finishing second in MVP voting as she led her team back to the WNBA Finals. Unfortunately she couldn't finish the job once there, falling to the New York Liberty in five games.
The ending of Game 5 was rather controversial and included some calls from the referees that the Lynx felt were questionable at best. Collier highlighted those calls in an Instagram post she put up after the loss, leading to accusations that Collier wasn't handling the defeat as well as she could.
