🏀 SCOOP: Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier tells me she "has nothing further to say" to WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert. 🗣️ What she's saying: "For her to start her speech saying she has the utmost respect for me ... and then to turn around and call me a liar three minutes later ... I think it just speaks to that lack of accountability." 📰 The latest: Collier said she opted out of speaking with Engelbert after the WNBA commissioner denied telling her in a private conversation last week that Caitlin Clark and other players should be "grateful" for the platform the league has given them. 👉🏾 Full comments from the WNBA All-Star: https://lnkd.in/gpHzNdry
