The Minnesota Lynx lost superstar forward and 2025 WNBA MVP favorite Napheesa Collier to an ankle injury on the road against the Las Vegas Aces on Saturday afternoon. While the Lynx were up 92-49 over the Aces late in the third quarter, Collier fell to the court and needed assistance to get up and leave the game.

Veteran guard Kayla McBride led the way for the Lynx with 24 points and a WNBA-record eight made three-pointers in the first half without a miss. Jessica Shepard pitched in 18 points and 14 rebounds off the bench, and Napheesa Collier added 18 points as well.

The WNBA’s leading scorer, Napheesa Collier appeared to turn her right ankle near the end of the third quarter. She was able to walk off on her own power but did not return.
