WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert reveals 5 teams aiming comeback as new league additions

"It's hard for me to comment on that 'cause there'll be rumors that we'll have 15 to 16 teams in that city, but obviously I'll just tell you the ones that have been making a play.

Obviously, the Monarchs in Sacramento, the Cleveland Rockers, the Detroit Shock, the Charlotte Sting and the Houston Comets. I think that all those cities-- the fans would love to bring a W team back," Engelbert said.

"It's complex because you need the arena and practice facility and player housing and all the things you need, committed long-term ownership groups," Engelbert said back in April. "And so, the nice thing is we're getting a lot of calls, we're continuing to engage with cities."

"These can either take a very long time to negotiate or it can happen pretty quickly if you find the right ownership group with the right arena situation," Engelbert added.
