Minnesota Lynx superwoman forward Napheesa Collier made her return to the starting lineup on Sunday night in her 2022 WNBA season debut — just 10.5 weeks after giving birth (!!) to her daughter Mila on May 25 — to a triumphant welcome from the Target Center crowd.
How quickly she improved her condition is incredible given the mountains she’s had to move on her road to recovery from child birth, let alone working herself into good enough shape to play WNBA basketball. Collier returned to the team less than a month ago and was cleared to begin working out three weeks ago.
