Latest News About Napheesa Collier

I can share the latest widely reported update: Napheesa Collier underwent surgery on both ankles in early 2026 and was expected to miss the start of the Lynx season, with a return anticipated in early June 2026 [source coverage indicates this timeline and subsequent contract details]. Since she signed a one-year, $1.4 million deal with Minnesota for 2026, the organization has publicly noted the rehab path as the priority while she eyes a return later in the season [CBS Sports coverage and FOX Sports summaries mentioning the contract and ankle surgeries]. Additionally, updates during May 2026 suggested ongoing rehab progress with the expectation she would be back on court later in the season, though exact return timing can depend on rehab milestones [FOX Sports summary and nearby coverage].
