Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier didn’t mince words when she offered her opinions on WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert.

The five-time All-Star then divulged details of conversations she’s had with Engelbert about the state of WNBA officiating and the league’s salary structure. During one chat, the commissioner purportedly said Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark “should be grateful she makes $60 million off the court because without the platform that the WNBA gives her, she wouldn’t make anything.”
