Further update per Annie Costabile via Twitter:

Initial evaluation of Napheesa Collier’s left ankle showed she did not suffer a fracture according to the Lynx.

Collier will go through further evaluation to determine what’s next.
UPDATE: Per Lynx PR, Napheesa Collier is officially OUT with a left ankle injury for Game 4 vs Phoenix.

DiJonai Carrington is also OUT.
It’s been two straight games where Minnesota has struggled to close games out.

Lynx scored 9 points in the 4th Quarter.

Maria Kliundikova had 6 of them.

The number one seeds’ back is now against the wall and no. OFFICIAL word has been shared but Napheesa Collier may be out for the series.

@espn.com can we at least get our announcers to pronounce the player names correctly for the @wnba.com playoffs?? I’ve heard three Lynx players names mispronounced. The rosters aren’t even deep in the W! Jesus.

@6thpod.bsky.social yall always make me laugh (and I love that you highlight players who aren’t the superstars) but you had me rolling w the idea of JJ as the referee of the gay vs straight all star game. I’m fucking dead 🤣🤣🤣 And Smith being on the gay team was fucking comedy gold.

@chanteljennings.bsky.social My wife and I were just at the b1g tourney and the noise/lights was exhausting to be in all day for most of the wknd. As far as I’m concerned, pls continue to complain about spending all day working. (I also wonder about rates of hearing loss in players and coaches. 2/2

@chanteljennings.bsky.social I still need to finish the episode, but had to pause it to comment about my nurse day/night rotating 12hr shifts lol. (On a cardiac floor where everyone is constantly monitored and thus there are constant nuance alarms, beeping etc with varying tones and urgency.) 1/2

@terpswbb.bsky.social y’all should be so proud of how you’ve played tonight. So much fun to watch.

Not necessarily excited for a game against South Carolina, but proud of this team! Sweet sixteen, baby!

As a Lynx fan I knew Phee was amazing….but I have to say, Aaliyah Edwards has been such a fun player to get to know better. #unrivaled #napheesa #24 #gophee #sorryaaliyah

look at how they are protecting women's sports
NEWS: Trump's Department of Education has rescinded the guidance saying Title IX, the statute governing gender equity in sports, applies to House v. NCAA revenue-sharing payments.

It's one of the expected but drastic shifts in Trump's Title IX application. frontofficesports.com/trump-biden-...

It’s one of several Biden-era policies related to Title IX that the Trump administration has almost immediately reversed.

Maryland has looked lost since we had the Bri/Shy injury one-two punch. The game against Oregon was promising but the way things are starting today would beg to differ. Hopefully we can find some energy and shake this brain fog. #marylandwbb #weneedbri

This.
It is National Girls and Women in Sports Day. Trans girls and trans women are girls and women, and should be able to play sports, at all levels, just like anyone else. They should be able to live and love and work and present however they choose. And I will stand in front of them to keep them safe.

in less than eight years the NCAA went from banning North Carolina from hosting championships due to its bathroom bill to... this.
Statement from NCAA president Charlie Baker on Donald Trump’s executive order banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

Says the NCAA will move quickly to align with the EO.

🏳️‍⚧️ Trans people are not a threat to sports. Or a threat in general. Don’t say you want to protect kids and then do the opposite of that. Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day. Ty 💖

While I’m still heartbroken about Bri’s ACL, scared about Shy’s knee, and we’ve had a hard week of losses to big opponents, it warms my heart to see MD among some great programs here 💖
Some AP WBB Poll notes:

- Vanderbilt (No. 23) is ranked for the first time since February 10, 2014

- Maryland (No. 14) is in the top 15 for the 500th time, the 4th program to reach that mark (Tennessee, Stanford, UConn)

While I never love to see injuries, the Natisha Hiedeman- Brittney Griner duo is something I absolutely love and never knew I needed until the Phantom came around. Love them together and loving this team more and more. 👻
Phantom’s Sabrina Ionescu (personal) is also out for tonight’s game. She’s been in Paris this week for the NBA game out there. @winsidr.com
