Who are the potential candidates to be the next WNBA commissioner?

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced Friday she will retire at the end of the calendar year, prompting a search for her successor that’s expected to begin later this month. Sources told ESPN that the league’s replacement process will likely involve NBA commissioner Adam Silver, as it did for Engelbert, with the Board of Governors expected to have input. The players’ union previously met with final candidates before Engelbert’s 2019 hire. ESPN outlines possible internal and external contenders, including former UConn and WNBA star Swin Cash, New York Liberty CEO Keia Clarke, and Bethany Donaphin, currently head of WNBA operations.
