Cathy Engelbert’s Leadership Questioned By Player Drawing Owner’s Displeasure

Minnesota Lynx sensation Napheesa Collier is currently in rehabilitation, gearing up for her second season in the “Unrivaled” league. Collier, a prominent two-way player, faced scrutiny over critical remarks made last month regarding WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert's leadership, which she deemed inadequate. This prompted the former UConn standout to cancel a meeting with Engelbert, citing a lack of accountability.Instead, Collier made an appearance at former Vice President Kamala Harris’s book tour, where she reiterated her stance, referring to Engelbert's leadership as “the worst in the world.” While numerous current and past WNBA players shared similar sentiments via social media, one anonymous owner suggested that Collier should have kept these discussions confidential, despite potential doubts about Engelbert's fitness for her role.In an ESPN report, the unidentified owner remarked, “If I had a vote, I would probably ask for a replacement,” signaling the ongoing tension between owners and players in the WNBA.
