Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier has fiercely criticized WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, labeling her leadership "negligence" and "the worst in the world." Collier cited issues with officiating, player salaries, and a perceived lack of accountability from the league office. She shared specific exchanges with Engelbert where the commissioner reportedly dismissed player complaints and suggested players should be grateful for current deals. These comments emerge as the WNBA faces potential player work stoppage and negotiates a new collective bargaining agreement.
