Indiana Fever superstar guard Caitlin Clark gave her support<\/a> to Minnesota Lynx superstar forward Napheesa Collier<\/a> on Thursday during her exit interview.<\/p>\n

Collier’s brutal WNBA takedown from her Tuesday exit interview<\/a> has taken the league by storm<\/a>, particularly with anger directed at league commissioner Cathy Engelbert. Part of Collier’s fiery statement alleged Engelbert insulted how Clark got her endorsement deals<\/a>, alleging they’re only possible because Clark is a WNBA player<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Clark initially gave no comment about Engelbert’s alleged diss<\/a>, but she did elaborate on Thursday that she hadn’t yet heard about this allegation before Collier went public with it<\/a> and hasn’t yet heard from Engelbert about it.<\/p>\n

We’ll see if that changes, but Engelbert’s only response to Collier’s statement so far has been a vague statement of her own<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Is Engelbert resigning?<\/p>\n

A recent report suggested she may step down<\/a> after WNBA CBA negotiations have finished, but nothing is confirmed at this time.<\/p>\n
