Collier had seven points and six rebounds in 19 minutes prior to exiting.

The 28-year-old has been a level above her competition this season, leading the WNBA with a career-high 26.1 points per game entering Tuesday. She's also averaging 8.8 rebounds while posting personal bests in assists (3.9), steals (two), and blocks (1.6).

The Lynx sit atop the WNBA with an 11-1 record following Tuesday's win. They will play the Indiana Fever in the Commissioner's Cup final July 1.
