Napheesa Collier will undergo surgery on both ankles and is expected to miss the next four to six months, according to ESPN’s Kendra Andrews.
That surgery will rule her out for the entire 2026 Unrivaled season — the league where she is a co-founder with Brianna Stewart — and could potentially cause her to miss the start of the WNBA season, pending the resolution of the current labor dispute.
