"The 2019 WNBA Rookie of the Year was inserted into the starting lineup in what was a crucial victory for the Lynx — they are now one game back of a playoff spot with three regular-season contests left. Collier finished with six points (on 2 of 7 shooting), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 21 minutes, about double the time she expected. “I was surprised when she kept putting me back in, but I wasn’t going to say anything,” Collier said. “So it felt really good. I felt a little winded, as to be expected, until the very end when I was really feeling it, but I thought that, you know, not back to where I want to be, but it was a good first game.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-women-napheesa-collier-minnesota-lynx-wnba-playoffs-2022-debut-20220808-jz7nxvn73zb5xeps7deoolwaqe-story.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=UConn%20Alerts%20-%20Don%27t%20Miss&utm_content=6011659984229[/URL] [/QUOTE]
