WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert canceled an interview scheduled with sports host Dan Patrick on Thursday whilst both were attending the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Nevada. Patrick announced the cancellation during his broadcast on Friday, stating that Engelbert's public relations team had instructed her to cancel despite the pair having waited nearly two hours for the conversation.

The interview cancellation coincides with escalating controversy surrounding rookie Caitlin Clark's role and playing time within the WNBA. Congressional Republicans have formally called for answers regarding Clark's treatment within the league, whilst various media figures continue to debate the circumstances surrounding the star's integration into professional women's basketball.
