MAJOR: Napheesa Collier is BACK! What to do for WNBA All Star and more...

Napheesa Collier is back... or at least all signs point toward her making her long-awaited season debut against the Seattle Storm. On today’s episode of Quita in the Morning, we break down why the Minnesota Lynx are bringing Collier back before the WNBA All-Star break, how many minutes she should realistically play, and why Minnesota cannot afford to wait until the playoffs to get its superstar back into game shape. We also preview a massive six-game WNBA slate, run through the most important injury updates and discuss how the league somehow went from having zero games one day to nearly every team playing the next. Then we turn our attention to WNBA All-Star Weekend in Chicago. The Chicago Sky still do not have an All-Star representative, the three-point contest lineup has been announced, Caitlin Clark and several other major shooters are missing—and Sabrina Ionescu’s one-word response of “lies” has created even more questions about what actually happened behind the scenes. Who should win the three-point contest? How many minutes should Napheesa Collier play in her return? And can the Chicago Sky pull off an upset against the New York Liberty?
