Bernice King demands apology from Linda Cohn regarding A’ja Wilson commentary

Bernice King called for a public apology and retraction from former ESPN anchor Linda Cohn following comments about A’ja Wilson. Cohn suggested that Wilson withdrew from the Team USA FIBA World Cup roster due to insecurity regarding Caitlin Clark's media presence. Wilson’s absence was officially attributed to a back injury, though Cohn publicly questioned that rationale based on the athlete's recent playing time with the Las Vegas Aces. While the discourse surrounding the two WNBA stars continued, Team USA secured a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals after winning two games in Berlin. The national team struggled offensively during a 55-52 win against Italy, where Caitlin Clark was held to one point. Team USA is scheduled to conclude group play against Czechia on Monday.
