WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert Discusses Adding Expansion Teams

Amid the recent calls from around the WNBA to expand roster sizes, commissioner Cathy Engelbert explained that she’s focused on growing the league in order to address players’ concerns.

“We’re transforming the economics of the league,” Engelbert said, per the Seattle Times. “We want to bring new owners into the league longer term. We need to find the right time to do that. We’re doing a lot of data analysis. … We’ll continue to do that analysis and hopefully this summer at some point we’ll be able to say more. But we want to be thoughtful about it.
