Caitlin Clark Says Collier Made Valid Points and Commissioner Engelbert Hasn’t Contacted Her

Caitlin Clark backs Napheesa Collier’s claims of negligent WNBA leadership amid stalled collective bargaining talks and growing player calls for accountability.

  • On Thursday, Caitlin Clark backed Napheesa Collier's criticism of WNBA leadership and said she has not heard from Commissioner Cathy Engelbert since Collier's statement went viral.
  • In a private exchange, Collier alleged that Engelbert told players like Clark they 'should be on their knees' and claimed Clark 'made $16 million off the court,' calling the league 'the worst leadership in the world.'
  • Pointing to leadership, Clark said this is the league's most important moment and urged leadership across all levels, while Sophie Cunningham and other WNBA players echoed concerns during exit interviews Thursday.
  • With the CBA deadline looming on Oct. 31, negotiations between the WNBA and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association remain tense, and players planned a `big call` Thursday to discuss next steps.
  • Clark, who is rehabbing, targets a late October return to five-on-five basketball as the controversy raises pressure for more dialogue between players and league officials.
