Caitlin Clark Makes Her Feelings Clear As She Unleashes Fiery Response To WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert [VIDEO]
Caitlin Clark has broken her silence after Napheesa Collier dropped a major claim about WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
Collier read from a prepared statement during her exit interview this week and called out what she believes is a broad “lack of accountability from the league office.”
The five-time All-Star took things even further when she recalled a conversation where she claimed that Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark should be “grateful” to the WNBA for boosting her off-court earnings, while players writ large “should be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the media rights deal that I got them.”
After receiving a ton of backlash over what she allegedly said, Engelbert fired back and said she was “disheartened by how Napheesa characterized our conversations and league leadership.” The commissioner added that “my commitment to the players and to this work will not waver.”
This is just one of many head-scratching moves by the commissioner.
Clark was named the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year after a record-breaking rookie season, and the only thing she received at the time was a phone call from the commissioner. Fast-forward to 2025, and Paige Bueckers proved she was a star in her rookie season, and she received a surprise party from WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
Now, the dynamic Indiana Fever guard is breaking her silence on the matter.
Caitlin Clark Breaks Silence on WNBA Commissioner
Caitlin Clark revealed that she hasn’t spoken with WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert this week after what Napheesa Collier had to say.
The Indiana Fever guard spoke publicly Thursday for the first time since that prepared statement from the Minnesota superstar.
“Well I mean, first of all, I have great respect for Phee [Collier’s nickname] and I think she made a lot of very valid points, Caitlin Clark said.
And what people need to understand, we need great leadership in this time across all levels.”
“This is, straight up, the most important moment in this league’s history,” Clark continued. “This is a moment we have to capitalize on, so, that’s honestly what I would say, You know, Phee said it all with what she said.”
In a series of follow-up questions, Clark said she had not heard about Engelbert’s alleged comments before Collier shared them on Tuesday.
The WNBA is quickly squandering away an excellent opportunity to excel at everything with so much fighting and bad leadership.
