Caitlin Clark has broken her silence after Napheesa Collier dropped a major claim about WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert.

Collier read from a prepared statement during her exit interview this week and called out what she believes is a broad “lack of accountability from the league office.”

The five-time All-Star took things even further when she recalled a conversation where she claimed that Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark should be “grateful” to the WNBA for boosting her off-court earnings, while players writ large “should be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the media rights deal that I got them.”

After receiving a ton of backlash over what she allegedly said, Engelbert fired back and said she was “disheartened by how Napheesa characterized our conversations and league leadership.” The commissioner added that “my commitment to the players and to this work will not waver.”

This is just one of many head-scratching moves by the commissioner.

Clark was named the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year after a record-breaking rookie season, and the only thing she received at the time was a phone call from the commissioner. Fast-forward to 2025, and Paige Bueckers proved she was a star in her rookie season, and she received a surprise party from WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert.

Now, the dynamic Indiana Fever guard is breaking her silence on the matter.

Caitlin Clark revealed that she hasn’t spoken with WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert this week after what Napheesa Collier had to say.

The Indiana Fever guard spoke publicly Thursday for the first time since that prepared statement from the Minnesota superstar.

“Well I mean, first of all, I have great respect for Phee [Collier’s nickname] and I think she made a lot of very valid points, Caitlin Clark said.

And what people need to understand, we need great leadership in this time across all levels.”

“This is, straight up, the most important moment in this league’s history,” Clark continued. “This is a moment we have to capitalize on, so, that’s honestly what I would say, You know, Phee said it all with what she said.”

In a series of follow-up questions, Clark said she had not heard about Engelbert’s alleged comments before Collier shared them on Tuesday.

The WNBA is quickly squandering away an excellent opportunity to excel at everything with so much fighting and bad leadership.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
