On this brand new episode of Chiney Today, Alexa Philippou joins the show to talk about her latest write-up on ESPN dot com detailing the questionable future of WNBA Cathy Engelbert.
The commissioner has had impactful moments of success from securing historic media rights deals to how she navigated the league through COVID to the league now being a 15-team league thanks to expansion opportunities. However, there’s also been areas of focus that could use some extra TLC such as: player relations, officiating, and public communication on various topics of player concerns or interests. But after going mum on if she will continue her duties as commissioner beyond this season during All-Star Weekend, Engelbert’s tenure could be nearing the end.
Plus, on this episode, Chiney talks about the highlights and lowlights from All-Star Weekend. From Azzi Fudd’s historic rookie moment to Jonquel Jones All-Star Game performance to Dom Malonga dunking to Nneka Ogwumike setting another record, you won’t want to miss this.
