Following Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier’s late-September message, in which she challenged WNBA leadership in her 2025 exit interview, both current Los Angeles Sparks’ star forward Dearica Hamby and former L.A. star Candace Parker have spoken out in support.
Now, Parker — on a recent episode of “Post Moves with Candace Parker & Aliyah Boston” — was honest in contrasting her respective relationships with both the WNBA’s Cathy Engelbert and NBA’s Adam Silver, the two league commissioners.
Furthermore, in a Oct. 9 story by ESPN’s Katie Barnes, Sparks’ star guard Kelsey Plum also spoke on her relationship with Engelbert.
“It’s not just what she says but how she says it,” Plum said. “We can all win this, and that frustration has been boiling … The conversation has been combative and that’s upping the frustration.”
