Star player Napheesa Collier sustained a left foot injury during the Lynx's game against Connecticut, forcing her out of the game and leaving her availability for the upcoming Olympics uncertain. Her absence proved critical in the Lynx's 78-73 loss to the Sun, marking their first consecutive losses of the season. Despite a strong effort from teammates like Kayla McBride, who emphasized Collier's importance, the Lynx struggled to maintain intensity throughout the game. Connecticut's Alyssa Thomas played a pivotal role in the Sun's victory with a triple-double performance. With Collier's status uncertain and potential injuries to other players, the Lynx face challenges ahead but remain committed to a collective effort moving forward. Coach Cheryl Reeve stressed the need for increased physicality and aggressive play to rebound from their recent setbacks.
