WNBA players are throwing their support behind Napheesa Collier after her scathing statement about the league’s leadership, and in particular, commissioner Cathy Engelbert.
Collier criticized the WNBA as having “the worst leadership in the world” when she spoke with reporters for her exit interview after the Lynx were eliminated from the WNBA semifinals by the Mercury.
A slew of players across the league have voiced their support in one form or another for the five-time All-Star and her comments on Tuesday.
Chicago Sky star Angel Reese posted on X, “10/10. No notes!”
Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby posted on X: “@PHEEsespieces thank you for your bravery!!!!!!!!”
Fellow Sparks star Cameron Brinks shared Collier’s more than four-minute-long statement in an Instagram Story, and WNBA Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers posted a photo of herself and Collier with the words “Queen Phee” written under it with a crown emoji.
