Napheesa Collier out for a few weeks with sprained right ankle

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Napheesa Collier will be sidelined for a few weeks after spraining her right ankle against the Las Vegas Aces on Saturday, the team announced Monday. Collier will be reevaluated in the coming weeks. The MVP frontrunner appeared to step on teammate Alanna Smith's left foot and immediately went down near Las Vegas' bench with the Lynx holding a 92-49 lead late in the third quarter. She attempted to stand but sat back down on the court, writhing in pain, and was immediately surrounded by Aces starters A'ja Wilson, Chelsea Gray, Jackie Young, NaLyssa Smith and Kierstan Bell, who all held towels to shield her from exposure. Collier's teammates, coaches and trainers eventually made their way to the opposite end of the court to tend to the 2025 All-Star MVP. The Lynx (24-5) have three games this week, including a WNBA Finals rematch in New York on Sunday against the Liberty. New York has its own injury issues with Breanna Stewart out for a few weeks with a bone bruise in her right knee. Minnesota has a 5 1/2 game lead on New York in the standings. ___ AP WNBA: The Associated Press

Kylie Jenner Embraces Summer's Wildest Flip-Flops

Love it or loathe it, it's undeniably the summer of flip-flops. The humble beach shoe, favored for its simplicity and ease, has been trending in a more high-fashion context this season. Suddenly, there are now celebrities wearing $750 The Row flip-flops with bright red soles, or flip-flops with sky-high platforms that are totally reminiscent of the '90s. The sandal has become less about something you wear to take a quick dip in the ocean, and more about making a bold statement. Naturally, Kylie Jenner is embracing the latter: She just posted an Instagram 'fit pic in which she is rocking one of the wildest flip-flops on the market. 'The energy I'm bringing to my shoot today,' Jenner captioned her selfie, in which she is rocking a death-defying pair of ERL clunkers. Coming in with a staggering 5-inch platform, the $375 style requires serious balancing skills, and instantly commands an outfit. Jenner styled them with a black bra top and athletic track pants, allowing them to be the focal point. (I mean, the supersized shoes are hard to miss.)
