Lynx Secure Star Napheesa Collier with Core Qualifying Offer Amid Injury Recovery
The Minnesota Lynx have extended a core qualifying offer to star Napheesa Collier, demonstrating their commitment to retaining her despite her current ankle injury. Collier, a pivotal figure in recent WNBA labor negotiations and an MVP runner-up last season, has expressed a desire to complete “unfinished business” with the team after several playoff disappointments.
This fully guaranteed supermax contract offer ensures the Lynx’s strong pursuit of the 29-year-old, who showcased career-high statistics and earned numerous accolades last season, including All-WNBA First Team honors and All-Star Game MVP.
