Overview
- The Minnesota Lynx announced that Collier has returned to full team practice activities and is progressing in her rehabilitation, but the club gave no timetable for her return to games.
- Collier underwent procedures on both ankles after a left-ankle injury ended her 2025 playoff run and has been in offseason rehab since.
- The Lynx have gone 15-4 this season without Collier, with rookie guard Olivia Miles taking heavy minutes and averaging strong scoring and playmaking numbers for the team.
- Collier re-signed with Minnesota on a reported one-year supermax deal worth about $1.4 million, a contract that makes her eligible for unrestricted free agency in 2027.
- Collier is a five-time All-Star who posted a 50/40/90 shooting season while averaging a career-high 22.9 points and won Defensive Player of the Year in 2024, so her return would have major competitive and roster implications and the team plans to provide further updates as rehab progresses.
