Alyssa Thomas says she has received death threats following an incident involving Caitlin Clark. Thomas also criticizes WNBA leadership, saying she believes the league has not provided enough support in response to what she describes as growing anger toward her after the incident.
The WNBA responds with a statement on Tuesday saying it “vehemently condemns any and all forms of hate.” The league’s message addresses threatening and hateful conduct but does not provide additional details about the specific threats or the circumstances of the incident.
Across the reports, Thomas’ allegations focus on personal safety concerns and her view that the WNBA commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, has not done enough to address the backlash. The league’s statement emphasizes condemnation of hate, aligning with broader efforts to discourage harassment. Neither outlet provides verified details about who issued the threats or any confirmed investigative findings. The reports indicate an ongoing dispute between Thomas and league officials while the WNBA publicly reiterates its stance against hate and harassment.
