Bazzell would not only serve as a trainer for Collier but also as a business partner. The WNBA star and Breanna Stewart co-founded Unrivaled, which began play back in January. Bazzell was named president, helping establish the innovative 3-on-3 league.

Napheesa Collier comments on her historic All-Star game performance

The Indianapolis crowd was still amped up for the WNBA All-Star game, even though their Fever superstar Caitlin Clark was unable to play because of injury. Napheesa Collier helped entertain the crowd by scoring a record-breaking 36 points in just 19 minutes.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Collier explained how her team was able to get the win over Team Clark.

"I tried to make my team not have that many new players," Collier said, according to the Associated Press. "I've played with a lot of them, and so it was good to get back with them, play with, like you said, some of those new players I haven't played with before."

In addition to the festivities, the weekend was also overshadowed by the CBA negotiations between the WNBA and WNBPA. The two sides remain far apart, with the deadline four months away. The players are for a salary increase amid the growth of the league with five expansion teams in the next five years.
