Collier Accuses WNBA Commissioner of Dismissive Remarks
Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier publicly accused WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert of poor leadership, alleging Engelbert told her that stars like Caitlin Clark should be grateful for off‑court earnings and even suggested players be “on their knees” thanking the media‑rights deal, while also raising concerns about officiating and low rookie pay. Caitlin Clark said she had not heard those alleged specific remarks but voiced strong support for Collier’s broader criticisms, calling this a pivotal moment for the league and urging better leadership. The dispute comes as the WNBA enters the Finals and its collective bargaining agreement expires at season’s end, heightening worries about pay, revenue distribution and potential labor strife. Engelbert issued a statement saying she respects Collier and all players, expressed dismay at Collier’s characterization of their conversations, and reiterated her focus on elevating the league; the exchange has intensified scrutiny of league‑player relations.
