But Minnesota was on the clock. Collier returned from a 2025 injury with 16 games remaining in the 2026 regular season after undergoing ankle surgeries in January and March.

However, the New York Liberty, Las Vegas Aces, Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries would not have earned Game 1 wins in their first-round series without key contributors from players who, in contrast to Stewie, A’ja, Rhy and Gabby, less frequently occupy the spotlight. So, let’s get some love to these...
