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).
