As time wound down in the third quarter, the Lynx were out on a fastbreak looking to extend their 43-point lead. Natisha Hiedeman went up for a layup that did not go down, and Collier stepped on Alanna Smith's foot while trailing the play. Collier's ankle rolled severely and she immediately collapsed to the ground.

On the same day Napheesa Collier was named the WNBA's Western Conference Player of the Month for July, the Lynx announced she'll be out at least two weeks with an ankle injury.

Napheesa Collier will miss at least two weeks due to a right ankle sprain she suffered on Saturday during a game against the Las Vegas Aces, ESPN’s Kendra Andrews reported. The Lynx have a league-best 24-5 record and are now entering a crucial stretch of the season without the reigning WNBA Defensive Player of the Year and MVP favorite.
