Meeting reportedly set for WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert, WNBPA to discuss league's online harassment issue

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert and the WNBPA are scheduled to meet on Tuesday to address the league's online harassment issue, according to a report from The Athletic published on July 17, 2026. The discussions come amid ongoing controversy surrounding Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark, whom NBA commissioner Adam Silver described as being subjected to 'political ping-pong' at CNBC's Game Plan Summit. The situation was further inflamed by a retroactively assessed flagrant 2 foul committed by Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas against Clark.
