Lynx star Napheesa Collier on how she takes care of her body during WNBA playoffs
The Minnesota Lynx face the New York Liberty in Game 2 of the WNBA playoffs tonight.
Napheesa Collier, star forward for the Minnesota Lynx, emphasizes the importance of taking care of her body during the WNBA playoffs. Recovery is a crucial aspect of her preparation, especially after sustaining injuries in the past. In August 2025, Collier suffered a right ankle sprain, and earlier that same year, she experienced a Grade 2 tear in her left ankle along with a shin muscle injury that required two surgeries.
After rehabilitation, Collier returned to team practice on July 1. She acknowledges that recovery is an ongoing process throughout the season and not just something to be done when the body is feeling unwell. To aid in her recovery, Collier relies on the Icy Hot No-Mess Roll On, a product available in three fragrances: Energizing Citrus, Revitalizing Tropical Rush, and Refreshing Lime & Mint.
The Lynx are currently facing the Liberty in the first round of the playoffs, with Game 2 scheduled for September 29 at 8:30 p.m. ET.
