The Mercury are 6-4 in August, with two losses each to Atlanta and Las Vegas, both very hot teams. There is no WNBA forward with elite playmaking skills quite like Thomas, who doesn't score (16.0 PPG) at quite the level of Collier or Wilson, but is third in rebounding (8.8) in addition to leading the league in assists.

Minnesota Lynx star and WNBA MVP favorite Napheesa Collier returned to action in style on Sunday with 32 points, nine rebounds, two assists and two steals in a 97-84 win over the Indiana Fever. Collier had been out since Aug. 2 due to a sprained right ankle.

The Minnesota Lynx have Napheesa Collier back, and the WNBA should be quaking. Making her first appearance since injuring her ankle on Aug. 2, Collier wowed the Target Center crowd as she posted 32 points to send the Lynx on the way to a comfortable 97-84 win over the Indiana Fever.
