Overview
- ESPN reported Collier scrapped next week’s sit-down after Cathy Engelbert called her account “inaccurate” at a Las Vegas Finals news conference.
- Engelbert flatly denied telling Collier that Caitlin Clark should be “grateful” for off-court earnings tied to the WNBA platform.
- A previously aired Engelbert interview circulated online with similar talking points about Clark’s pay and endorsement platform, intensifying scrutiny of her denial.
- A league spokesperson said Engelbert had not been officially notified of the cancellation as of Saturday, though Engelbert said they had exchanged texts and planned to talk.
- Players across the league voiced support for Collier as CBA talks lag, with the current agreement expiring Oct. 31 and trust between sides in question.
