Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham comments on the future of WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert, suggesting that changes in leadership could be possible. In an interview with USA TODAY Sports, Cunningham says Engelbert’s position is “up to Adam Silver.”
Both outlets frame the remarks as part of broader discussion about whether the WNBA could benefit from new leadership. The New York Post reports Cunningham hints that a commissioner shakeup might occur and connects the idea to her view that fresh leadership could help the league. Yahoo Sports likewise centers the comments on the possibility of a change at the commissioner level, while presenting Cunningham’s statement as a matter of process and decision-making rather than a definitive prediction. Across coverage, Cunningham’s position remains that the outcome depends on higher-level authority, rather than her having direct control over any personnel decision.
