Unrivaled has begun, but they’ll be without their co-founder this season.
On January 1, Napheesa Collier announced that she will miss this Unrivaled season due to surgery on both ankles.
Phee’s injuries occurred during the WNBA season and she had been working to rehab her injuries in time for Unrivaled. Now that she is undergoing surgery, she is out for Unrivaled and more than likely the start of the 2026 WNBA season, assuming it starts on time.
Roberta F. Rodrigues of Forbes, Beta Basket, and Tempestade Talk reported that Collier will be undergoing rehabilitation in Miami at the Unrivaled facilities following her surgeries.
Temi Fangbele will take Collier’s place on the Lunar Owls.
Collier is one of the game’s greatest players and most important figures. Hopefully she heals up quickly and is back on the court as soon as possible.
