Lynx forward Napheesa Collier will be sidelined for at least two weeks with a right ankle sprain, ESPN's Kendra Andrews reported Monday. Collier injured her ankle during Saturday's game, and though she avoided a major injury, she is projected to miss at least four games before she is re-evaluated on Aug. 18.
With Collier out, the WNBA MVP race could potentially open up. Collier has been the clear-cut favorite to win MVP all season. She leads the league in scoring, averaging 23.5 points along with 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, and also leads the team with the best record in the WNBA at 24–5.
