WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert will retire at the end of the year after seven years at the helm, a tenure that saw the league expand from 12 to 18 teams, secure new media rights, and extend the schedule, while facing ongoing controversy over marketing of stars and debates surrounding transgender athletes in women’s sports; no successor has been announced yet.
