The accolades continue to pile up for Lynx forward Napheesa Collier.
Just six days after being named the WNBA's Western Conference Player of the Month, and about a month after winning a gold medal in the Paris Olympics, she was named the Conference's Player of the Week for the third time this season.
From September 2 through 8, Collier averaged 22.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1.5 blocks in just over 37 minutes per game.
It's the seventh in her career she's won the award, tying Seimone Augustus for the second-most by any Lynx player. Maya Moore, who just had her number retired by the team earlier this season, won the award 20 times.
The Lynx (26-9) and are 9-1 since the Olympic break. They will wrap their three-game road trip Tuesday night against the Atlanta Dream. They currently sit in first place in the West, and second place overall in the WNBA behind New York and a game over Connecticut. The playoffs begin September 22.
The team has already clinched their 13th postseason appearance in the last 14 seasons.
