The 2021 WNBA All-Star Game is set to be an exciting event, and the league recently announced that Napheesa Collier of the Minnesota Lynx will be the reserve for the game. Collier is the first player from the Lynx to be selected as a reserve for the All-Star Game since Maya Moore in 2015.
Collier, who is in her third season in the WNBA, has been a key contributor for the Lynx this season. She is averaging 15.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game while shooting a career-high 45.2 percent from the field. Her defensive prowess has been on full display as well, as she is averaging 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.
Collier has been a consistent presence for the Lynx since she was drafted sixth overall in the 2019 WNBA Draft. She was named to the All-Rookie Team in her first season and was an All-Star selection in 2020, when she finished fourth in MVP voting.
