They’re not only known as stars and franchise cornerstones within the state of Minnesota, but Napheesa Collier and Anthony Edwards are now being recognized as stars of their age group throughout the country.
Collier, a fifth-year star forward for the Minnesota Lynx, and Edwards, a fourth-year star guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, are among the sports figures highlighted on the annual Forbes 30 under 30 North America list, announced Tuesday.
Collier returned to the court in 2023 after appearing in four games in 2022 after giving birth earlier that year. She not only returned to All-WNBA form, but excelled towards MVP level during a career year that resulted in her finishing fourth in the WNBA in scoring and seventh in rebounding while earning All-WNBA First Team honors and ending fourth in MVP voting.
