Cathy Engelbert Responds to Alyssa Thomas’s Callout

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert responded after being called out by Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas.

In a statement obtained by Front Office Sports, Engelbert said:

"The WNBA vehemently condemns any and all forms of hate. The safety and well-being of everyone in our community is always the league's top priority. We are aware of Alyssa Thomas' comments, and what she and her teammates have experienced is completely unacceptable and not representative of the WNBA community. The league and our security team have been in contact with the Phoenix Mercury organization and remain committed to protecting all players."
