Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier has suffered an ankle sprain and will miss at least two weeks of action, according to sources close to the team. The injury occurred during a recent game, and the team is evaluating the extent of her recovery timeline. Collier, a key player for the Lynx, was in the midst of a strong season before the injury, and her absence could impact the team’s performance in upcoming games.
Collier’s agent confirmed the injury details, stating that she is expected to return to play after the minimum two-week recovery period. The team has not provided further details on the timeline for her return to the court. The Lynx will need to adjust their strategies and possibly rely on other players to fill the void left by Collier’s absence.
Medical experts have noted that ankle sprains can vary in severity, and while two weeks is a minimum estimate, the full recovery period may take longer. Collier’s case is being monitored by the team’s medical staff, who are working to ensure a full recovery. The Lynx’s management has expressed confidence in Collier’s ability to return to form once she is fully healed.
