Napheesa Collier won’t be healthy in time to start the 2026 WNBA season out with the Lynx, the team announced on Tuesday.
The five-time All-Star suffered an ankle injury during Game 3 of the Lynx–Mercury WNBA semifinal series in September last year. She was ruled out of the past season of Unrivaled, the women’s basketball league she helped create with Breanna Stewart, after undergoing surgery on her right ankle in January. On Tuesday, Minnesota shared that Collier underwent successful surgery on her left ankle on March 24.
