Adam Silver says NBA, WNBA are having 'ongoing discussions' about Cathy Engelbert's future as commissioner

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver confirmed that the NBA and WNBA are engaged in ongoing discussions regarding WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert's future in her role. The talks come amid reports this week that Silver had intervened to persuade Engelbert to suspend player Alyssa Thomas following a foul on high-profile rookie Caitlin Clark, though the WNBA denied those reports. The situation has drawn significant attention to the leadership and governance of the WNBA.
