Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier will be named 2024 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, according to Shams Charania. His report coincides with a social media post from the WNBPA that appeared to inadvertently leak the upcoming award winners.

Collier finished second in MVP voting behind A'ja Wilson, and has had a stellar season on both sides of the court.

The Connecticut Sun will face the Minnesota Lynx in a best-of-five semifinal series starting Sunday with the chance to advance to the WNBA Finals on the line.
