The Women's National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) has released a statement urging USA Today to take action against journalist Christine Brennan for inappropriate conduct. The statement, issued by WNBPA Executive Director Terri Carmichael Jackson, criticizes Brennan's recent interview with WNBA player DiJonai Carrington, describing her questioning as harmful and a potential distraction from the WNBA awards season. The WNBPA's statement also includes a quote, 'You have abused your privileges and do not deserve the credentials issued to you.' The association emphasizes that Brennan's actions do not reflect the broader USA Today Network and hopes that other journalists within the organization will continue to cover the league fairly. 2024 MVP A’ja Wilson is one of the players named.
