By 2026, the WNBA will feature 15 teams. Cavs star Donovan Mitchell wants a 16th team. In Cleveland. Again.
What’s different about Cavs training camp with Kenny Atkinson vs. J.B. Bickerstaff? Wine and Gold Talk podcast“I think Cleveland definitely deserves a WNBA team,” Mitchell said following Cavs practice at IMG Academy on Friday afternoon. “It’s big time for Portland and San Francisco to add one. But Cleveland is a perfect sports city for it. The WNBA is at an all-time high and I love the competition. Been this way for a while and I think people are now starting to finally pay attention.
With a goal to bring that number to 16 teams by 2028, the WNBA is expected to consider Philadelphia, Nashville, South Florida and Denver. Even though there hasn’t been any chatter about Cleveland, Mitchell said Friday he would spearhead those efforts in any way possible.
