WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert releases a statement supporting Alyssa Thomas after Thomas raises concerns about how the league has responded to backlash online. According to reports, Thomas says she has not heard from Engelbert despite a wave of online threats and “hate” following a controversy involving Caitlin Clark. In her comments, Thomas links her own situation to a broader dispute that has drawn significant attention on social media, and she characterizes the response she received—or did not receive—from the commissioner as insufficient. Several outlets report that Engelbert’s statement comes hours after Thomas publicly criticized the perceived lack of engagement. Engelbert’s remarks condemn the online harassment and express support for Thomas, signaling the league’s position against threats and hateful conduct. Both accounts describe an ongoing exchange in which Thomas highlights the seriousness of the threats she faces while Engelbert responds publicly with condemnation of harassment and backing for Thomas. The reports do not add additional details on the specific content of the threats or any formal league disciplinary actions in connection with the incident.
