Indiana Fever vs Minnesota Lynx Injury Reports for July 14 | 2024 WNBA Season 

The Indiana Fever will travel to Minneapolis to face the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday. Both teams have little room for error as they aim to solidify their position for the upcoming playoffs. With 60% of the WNBA season now complete, injuries are becoming a factor and both will be without a key player for Sunday's matchup.

Indiana Fever vs Minnesota Lynx Injury Reports for July 14

Minnesota Lynx: Napheesa Collier: Out, foot injury

The loss of forward Napheesa Collier will be a major blow for the Lynx. The four-time WNBA All-Star suffered a foot injury against the Connecticut Sun on July 4, and an aggravated plantar fasciitis in her left foot will force her to miss a significant portion of the season. She has not featured in the lineup over the last four games.

Collier is averaging 20 points, 10.2 rebounds 3.7 assists and 2.2 steals over 20 games this season. She ranks fourth in the league in points per game, second in steals per game and third in rebounds per game. Only the Chicago Sky's Angel Reese and Las Vegas Aces' A'ja Wilson are averaging more rebounds than her.

Indiana Fever: Temi Fagbenle: Out, thumb injury

Forward Temi Fagbenle has been ruled out with a thumb injury, but hopes to be back for the team's upcoming match against the Dallas Wings on Wednesday.

Fagbenle played in just 11 games for the Fever this season, with a foot injury sustained earlier this year forcing her to miss several games. When healthy, she has been a major contributor—averaging 8.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists.
