Lynx’s Napheesa Collier Returning to Court 10 1/2 Weeks After Giving Birth, per Report

All-WNBA forward Napheesa Collier will return to the Lynx lineup for Sunday’s matchup against the Dream, just 10 and a half weeks after giving birth, according to Chantel Jennings and Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The report noted that Collier is expected to start and will be on a minutes restriction. Officially, the Lynx have listed Collier as probable for the matchup.

The 25-year-old Collier returned to practice in late July, as she took part in non-contact, five-on-zero drills.

“The heart rate is what the biggest challenge is,” Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve told The Star Tribune at the time.
