Napheesa Collier Sparks Controversy with Bold Criticism of WNBA Leadership 🏀

Napheesa Collier ignited major controversy during WNBA media day by calling the league’s leadership “the worst,” directly targeting Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. She highlighted the disparity between rookie stars like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Paige Bueckers driving huge revenues while earning limited salaries. Reports claim Engelbert dismissed concerns by saying Clark should be “grateful” for her off-court earnings, which Collier found unacceptable. The WNBA later responded, expressing disappointment but reaffirming Engelbert’s commitment. The situation has escalated tensions ahead of the season, spotlighting unresolved issues over player compensation and league leadership.
