Caitlin Clark’s Teammate Expresses Regret Over Remarks on Cathy Engelbert & WNBA

When you’re the biggest star in the league, everything somehow revolves around you — and that’s exactly what happened during Napheesa Collier’s exit interview. She dropped a bombshell about Engelbert, saying, “Caitlin should be grateful she makes $16 million off the court because without the platform that the WNBA gives her, she wouldn’t make anything.” Comments like that about Caitlin Clark were bound to create a big scene.

Clark’s teammate Sophie Cunningham was quick to respond on her Show Me Something podcast. She didn’t hold back, blasting Engelbert for her remarks: “Cathy, no one cares. Literally, no one cares. Like how you’re sitting right there. That’s how we feel every time she speaks. Every time she speaks, us as players, that’s how we feel.” Cunningham was clearly frustrated that Engelbert made it all about herself and completely ignored the impact Caitlin Clark has had on the league.

But in her latest podcast episode, Cunningham admitted she regrets the way she delivered her remarks to the WNBA commissioner. “I’m not going back on what I said, but I might have been a little harsh on how I said it. But you know what? It’s also me, you know, but it’s fine. It is what it is.”

For a player who has a history of getting fined by the WNBA for remarks about officiating throughout the season, fans expected Cunningham to face a hefty penalty for her latest comments.

However, she confirmed on the same episode of her podcast that she wasn’t fined.“I got a text from our GM and like we’ve been done. Like there’s really nothing to talk about and I got a text like ah sh-t like I’m getting fined. And it wasn’t a fine. So, like I think that I’m off the radar because we lost. But yeah, that is good.”
