Napheesa Collier injury update: Lynx superstar exits Aces win
While the Lynx were up 92-49 over the Aces late in the third quarter, Collier fell to the court and needed assistance to get up and leave the game.
The team soon ruled her out for the rest of the contest with a right ankle injury. Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve had no update on Collier's condition during her postgame press conference.
The Lynx got the 111-58 victory, but losing Collier for any substantial amount of time would be absolutely catastrophic for Minnesota's WNBA title hopes.
We'll keep you updated once we know more about Collier's injury status.

2025 WNBA trade deadline: Live updates, news, rumors as Sun acquire Aaliyah Edwards from Mystics, send Jacy Sheldon to Washington
The 2025 WNBA trade deadline is rapidly approaching on Thursday at 3 p.m. ET, as contenders look to make final moves to solidify rosters ahead of a playoff run, while others look to acquire assets for the future. This deadline could prove to be a particularly interesting one, as a significant number of players will become free agents for the 2026 season in coordination with the start of a new CBA. Multiple players negotiated their contracts through 2025 based on the timing of the current CBA, which runs through Oct. 31, 2025. Hours before the deadline, the Washington Mystics made their second move of the week, trading Aaliyah Edwards to the Connecticut Sun for Jacy Sheldon and the rights to a potential 2026 first-round pick swap. The rebuild continues in Washington, which traded All-Star guard Brittney Sykes to the Seattle Storm on Tuesday in exchange for Alysha Clark, guard Zia Cooke and a 2026 first-round pick. Seattle currently sits sixth in the WNBA standings, acquiring Sykes, who's averaging 15.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. The 2025 deadline action tipped off Sunday with a trade between the Minnesota Lynx and Dallas Wings. The Lynx acquired guard DiJonai Carrington, while the Wings acquired forward Diamond Miller, guard Karlie Samuelson and a 2027 second-round draft pick. It marked the second time Carrington had been traded this year, having joined the Wings via trade in February, just months after being named WNBA All-Defensive First Team and the WNBA's Most Improved Player. She'll offer immediate contributions for Minnesota as it looks to fill an immediate and significant vacancy left by All-Star Napheesa Collier, who's expected to miss at least two weeks with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, heads to Dallas in hopes of a fresh start. After starting in each of her 32 games for the Lynx in her rookie season, Miller has yet to make her first start in 2025. Samuelson was waived after the trade, ESPN's Alexa Philippou reported. The financial ramifications of a new CBA could drastically reshape the WNBA landscape, with the salary cap, player salaries and revenue sharing topping the list of concerns in negotiations. Currently, the WNBA minimum salary for a player of 0-2 years of experience is at $66,079 per season, and players with 3+ years of experience earn a veteran minimum of $78,831; supermax contracts max out at $249,244. The salary cap for each team in 2025 is set at just over $1.5 million, per Her Hoops. Earlier this season, the Las Vegas Aces made a surprise move to acquire forward NaLyssa Smith from the Wings in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick, also her second time being traded in the 2025 calendar year. At 15-14, the Aces sit seventh overall in the league standings. Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more from the 2025 WNBA trade deadline:

The latest WNBA trade is a win-win move
The WNBA trade deadline is quickly approaching, and two rebuilding WNBA teams have agreed on a trade that (should) make both teams better in the long term. The Connecticut Sun announced on Thursday that they've traded guard Jacy Sheldon for Washington Mystics forward Aaliyah Edwards. Both second-year players are far from their prime, but both have shown promise in the WNBA. The Mystics also receive the right to swap their 2026 first-round pick (from Minnesota) for Connecticut's 2026 first-round pick (from New York). The win benefits the Sun in that they add another talented forward to join Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Aneesah Morrow in the long term. Additionally, a beloved former University of Connecticut star returns to Connecticut — and she'll likely draw a sizable UConn crowd to the Mohegan Sun Arena, too. It also benefits the Wings, who recently lost Brittney Sykes via trade and still don't have Georgia Amoore for the rest of the season. Jacy Sheldon can handle the ball and shoot — and she's a guard who the Mystics can add to their young core. Jacy Sheldon, who was acquired via trade from the Dallas Wings in the offseason, averaged 7.5 points and 2 assists this season, averaging 47% from the field and 41.2% from three. Sheldon showed promise on both ends of the floor and started 17 of 24 games this season. Now, she'll join a backcourt that includes rookie guard Sonia Citron and one that recently lost All-Star veteran Brittney Sykes, who was traded to the Seattle Storm earlier this week. Next year, Washington will also have Georgia Amoore, who tore her ACL shortly after being drafted, back in the mix. Aaliyah Edwards had a standout rookie season for the Mystics but was buried on the bench for much of this season, playing behind rookie forward Kiki Iriafen and center Shakira Austin. But this season, she averaged 6 points and 3.3 rebounds in just 13.3 minutes per game, down from 21.8 minutes last season. In Connecticut, Edwards will join forces with rookie Aneesah Morrow in the frontcourt, and play alongside veteran center Tina Charles as well. Morrow and Edwards could anchor the team's frontcourt for years to come. The trade is a swap between two top-six picks in the 2024 WNBA Draft; Sheldon was the fifth overall pick, while Edwards was the sixth.
