“I Just Haven’t Had the Time”: Napheesa Collier Gives Candid Free Agency Update After Lynx Make Unwanted Playoff History

Following a stunning opening-round exit in the postseason, Minnesota star Napheesa Collier addressed questions regarding her upcoming free agency status. The forward admitted she has not yet considered her future choices after her squad suffered an unexpected elimination just two days prior.

After concluding an eight-year tenure with the franchise and securing a one-year contract extension worth 1.4 million dollars in 2025, the veteran emphasized her affection for the team while maintaining that she simply needs time to decompress following the abrupt end to their championship campaign.

Despite finishing the regular season at the top of the standings with a dominant 33-11 record under head coach Cheryl Reeve, the top-seeded group fell short against the eighth-seeded New York squad led by Chris DeMarco. Collier managed averages of 16.8 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.6 assists across 16 appearances after returning from an ankle injury sustained in the prior year's playoffs.

Alongside contributions from teammates Olivia Miles, Natasha Howard, Kayla McBride, and Courtney Williams, the roster put together a stellar campaign before ultimately encountering familiar rivals in the postseason.
