Minnesota Lynx star and WNBA MVP frontrunner Napheesa Collier left Saturday’s road game against the Las Vegas Aces late in the third quarter with an apparent right foot or ankle injury.
Collier appeared to roll her ankle while running into the back of forward Alanna Smith while tracking a rebound.
At the time, the Lynx were up 92-49 on the Aces, who had their bench in the game from about midway through the third quarter on.
Collier couldn’t stand up at first. The Lynx trainers had her sit back down. But ultimately she was able to walk gingerly off the court under her own power, albeit with a arm around the shoulder a Minnesota staffer.
