WNBA team coming to Philly, announces WNBA commissioner

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert called the expansion into Philadelphia, Toronto, and Portland a “monumental day” in the league’s history. “These are proud cities with powerful sports legacies, each one rich in basketball tradition and fueled by passionate fan bases,” Engelbert said at a news conference Monday morning. “This is far more than an expansion of our league, it’s an evolution.”
