Engelbert has faced a barrage of criticism over her leadership in recent days, most notably by Napheesa Collier. Cunningham has become an outspoken figure in the WNBA.

'At the end of the day, everyone’s fed up – fed up with how the league is treating us,' Cunningham said.
'They should be ashamed of themselves for what they’re giving back to us because it's nothing. It is nothing. They’re not listening. The thing is, they’re not even engaging with us. It is bad.'
Cunningham also accused Engelbert of lacking the qualities of a 'great leader' and showing a 'crazy' level of disrespect to her players.
'Great leaders want to see other people be more successful than them, they want to make sure that they’re cared for,' Cunningham said.
'And I get it, she's the business side of it. Like, I get it. But you can be respectful and treat your product – the product of why people are paying attention, why people are buying certain jerseys – with respect.
'Be a great leader - she’s not, she’s not in any sense. The disrespect is just crazy to me... this is just such a pivotal point in the WNBA.
'Because there’s so many eyes on us, there’s so many new fans – there’s millions of new fans – and at the end of the day she’s worried about her. In all of her statements it’s like: "Well, I got us here and I...," Cathy no one cares. Literally, no one cares.'
Earlier this week, the Indian Fever star claimed she was 'tired' of the league, insisting leadership needs 'to step up and be better'.
