WNBA superstar Napheesa Collier blasts Commissioner Cathy Engelbert publicly, revealing private conversations, airing dirty laundry, and exposing the tension between players and the league just weeks before a major negotiation deadline. With Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and other rising stars in the mix, the battle over revenue sharing, leadership, and the future of women’s basketball is reaching a breaking point. Is a lockout inevitable?
“Engelbert is out of her league — the players are organized, the union is strong, and she’s running out of leverage.” ~ Doug Kezirian
