NBA总裁亚当·萧华表示，印第安纳狂热队的球星凯特琳·克拉克已成为美国国内政治博弈的棋子。他在周四于纽约市举行的CNBC与Boardroom峰会上发表了上述评论。
萧华拒绝证实有关他曾影响WNBA总裁凯茜·恩格尔伯特对菲尼克斯水星队前锋阿丽莎·托马斯作出停赛处罚的报道。此前在6月22日狂热队输给水星队的比赛中，托马斯曾发生将拳头抵在克拉克喉咙处的行为，随后引发了停赛事件。联盟事后认定该行为为二级恶意犯规，并对托马斯处以禁赛一场的处罚。事件发生后，托马斯曾收到死亡威胁及网络暴力。萧华强调，围绕克拉克的问题已超出了裁判判罚的范畴。他形容克拉克是一位出色的球员和个人，她希望专注于提升自己的竞技水平。在本周二于拉斯维加斯举行的NBA夏季联赛新闻发布会上，萧华表示他对WNBA目前的状况感到满意，但并未对恩格尔伯特的未来表态。
