Digest more
Napheesa Collier shared her feelings on playing alongside fellow UConn legend Paige Bueckers in the WNBA All-Star game.
Paige Bueckers earned her first WNBA Rookie of the Month award in June, while Napheesa Collier won her second Player of the Month honor.
Napheesa Collier (-500) continues to inch closer to her first-ever MVP as the -500 odds is the most favored she’s been all year. Collier’s averaged 23.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.2 combined blocks and steals per game over the previous three contests.
Paige Bueckers is officially a WNBA All-Star starter. She was named a starter with the help of the most fan votes ever for a rookie, but the WNBA All-Star Game still follows the NBA model with a draft, having two captains select the teams.
