Collier slams 'negligent' WNBA leadership
The Straits Times
|October 02, 2025
Minnesota Lynx’s five-time All-Star Napheesa Collier ripped into the Women’s National Basketball Association’s leadership and commissioner Cathy Engelbert in a postseason media conference on Sept 30, accusing the WNBA of a “tone-deaf, dismissive” approach to players.

The comments came after a controversial no-call in the final minute of the Lynx’s semifinal Game 3 against the Mercury on Sept 26, when Collier suffered an ankle injury as Phoenix forward Alyssa Thomas stole the ball.
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve launched into a tirade against game officials after the incident and blasted them in a post-game press conference.
The WNBA slapped her with a one-game suspension and a league record US$15,000 (S$19,300) fine.
