Star Lynx forward Napheesa Collier put the WNBA on notice on Tuesday when she blasted commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the league's officials in a scathing exit interview following Minnesota's semifinal playoff elimination.
In prepared remarks before reporters, Collier assailed the league for a "lack of accountability" in fixing issues raised by players, the W's poor officiating chief among them. She also recounted a surprising conversation she had with Engelbert regarding compensation for the league's youngest stars, a talk that allegedly led to Engelbert claiming WNBA wunderkind Caitlin Clark should "be grateful" she has the W to help her with sponsorships.
