Collier has received unconditional support from her peers and fans in the wake of this, which has turned Engelbert into even more of a villainous figure than she already was. Two-time reigning WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson (who won her third WNBA Finals on Friday) said of Engelbert’s alleged comments to Collier, “Had an opportunity to listen to Phee, and I just want to say, I was honestly disgusted by<\/a> the comments that Cathy made,” when speaking with the media last week. <\/p>\n Oct 8, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Las Vegas Aces center A’ja Wilson (22) reacts against the Phoenix Mercury in the first half during game three of the 2025 WNBA Finals at PHX Arena.

And when asked about the boos Engelbert received, neither superstar minced any words. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen you have great players. You need to treat them like that,” Gray said, per an X post from Desert Wave Media before Wilson began playing a tambourine. “And that’s top to bottom… There has been a lot of eyes on this league, and everybody\u2019s been stepping up to the plate and putting on performances that\u2019s legendary. We have legends that you guys get to witness every day. When we have a league full of people like that, it needs to be treated as such.”<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t play in our faces,\u201d Wilson then added. <\/p>\n Gray then reiterated, “When you have players like that, at the forefront of change, you’ve got to pay them like that, you’ve got to value them like that. Because there’s no league without the players.”<\/p>\n Las Vegas Aces guard Chelsea Gray gives her message to WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you have great players.
