Collier Backs Away From WNBA Criticism

Minnesota Lynx star and WNBA Players Association vice president Napheesa Collier walked back her scathing criticism of WNBA leadership in a recent interview. While she previously called Commissioner Cathy Engelbert's leadership 'the worst in the world,' Collier now considers her comments 'a little dramatic' though she maintains they helped further collective bargaining agreement negotiations.

Despite her softened stance, Collier's original criticism received widespread support from peers including Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull and coach Stephanie White. The 2026 WNBA season is scheduled to begin May 8 following offseason negotiations on a new CBA. sos-zagle.org.pl
