Rapper Drake took to Instagram on Wednesday to call on the WNBA to put a new franchise in his hometown of Ontario, Canada.
"@WNBA I need a Toronto team," Drake wrote on his Instagram story.
Drake's comments not only come amid a continuing surge in interest in basketball in Canada, but also amid recent public acknowledgments that the WNBA is looking to expand.
Ahead of Game 1 of the 2021 WNBA Finals, commissioner Cathy Engelbert said, “Expansion is on the horizon." Adding that while there is timeline for the league's expansion she hopes to relay more information during next season.
