Basketball player Napheesa Collier notches 32 points in her comeback game with the Minnesota Lynx
The Minnesota Lynx are cruising towards the playoffs, becoming the first team in the WNBA to reach the 30-win milestone in the regular season. This impressive feat is a testament to the team's collective effort and the contributions of some standout players.
One of those standouts is Veronica Burton, who is having a breakout season with the Lynx. Burton has proven to be a key player in the team's playoff push, demonstrating consistent performance on the court.
Another notable addition to the Lynx is DiJonai Carrington, who was traded from the Dallas Wings before the trade deadline. Carrington has fit perfectly into Cheryl Reeve's coaching system, making a difference on both ends for the Minnesota Lynx. Her work ethic and aggressive play style align well with the team's dynamics, contributing significantly to their first run in a game.
In her return game after a three-week absence, Napheesa Collier, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, also made a strong impact. Collier shot an impressive 68.8% from the field, scoring 32 points with 9 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 three-pointers in a dominant performance.
Courtney Williams, another crucial player for the Lynx, broke the team's record for the most assists in a single season with a double-double in the game, scoring 14 points and dishing out 10 assists. Williams believes a fully healthy Minnesota Lynx squad is a "problem" for other teams in the WNBA.
The MVP race in the WNBA is tight, with Napheesa Collier, Alyssa Thomas, A'ja Wilson, and Allisha Gray all in contention. Collier's return to form, coupled with Carrington's impressive performances, could tip the balance in her favour.
The Lynx have already clinched a playoff berth, making them the only team to have done so. They will face the Seattle Storm at home on Thursday, August 28. With their current form and the addition of Carrington, the Lynx are poised to make a deep run in the playoffs.
