Minnesota Lynx star Nafisa Collier has earned a new nickname after a dominating performance against the Chicago Sky on Monday night. Collier scored 29 points, provided five assists, and grabbed three steals in a 91-78 victory at Wintrust Arena, sinking four of her seven three-pointers and making all 11 of her free throws. This win improved Minnesota’s record to a league-best 19-4 this season and served as payback for a recent loss to Chicago.
Following the game, the Lynx’s official social media dubbed Collier “Do-It-All,” praising her incredible all-around display with graphics highlighting her stats. Her leadership and versatility clearly justify her selection as one of this year’s WNBA All-Star Game captains. Teammate Courtney Williams came close to a triple-double with 18 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists, while Kayla McBride scored 17 points and Bridget Carleton made a crucial three-pointer early in the second half.
Despite Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese posting her ninth double-double of the season with 22 points and 10 rebounds, she couldn’t contain Collier and the Lynx. Before the game, Collier even complimented Reese, calling her a vital part of the league’s future and acknowledging her potential for a long career.
Collier took control from the start, helping Minnesota pull away in the third and fourth quarters with clutch plays and flawless free throw shooting. As the WNBA All-Star Break nears, the five-time All-Star and team captain continues to demonstrate why she’s one of the league’s top MVP contenders, earning the nickname “Ms. Do-It-All.”
Fan Take: Nafisa Collier’s stellar performance and leadership highlight the rising talent and competitiveness in the WNBA, signaling an exciting future for the sport. Her all-around prowess inspires fans and teammates alike, showing that the league’s stars are only getting stronger and more dynamic.
