Lynx star Napheesa Collier makes WNBA history as the only player to record with five steals and two blocks in a single quarter.

The Minnesota Lynx have yet to lose a game this season, thanks in large part to the play of superstar Napheesa Collier.

The 6-foot-1 forward entered the 2025 season with the third-best odds (+300, ESPN Bet) to win WNBA MVP, behind Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (+200) and Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson (+225).
