The Golden State Warriors ownership group and the WNBA are close to finalizing a deal that would bring an expansion team to the Bay Area.
In a statement sent to KTVU on Wednesday, the Warriors said they have had productive conversations with the WNBA.
The team would be run by the Warriors ownership group, play games at Chase Center in San Francisco and be headquartered at their practice facility in Oakland. KTVU spoke to San Francisco Mayor London Breed about the possibility of an expansion team earlier this summer. "I think the doors are opening for women," Breed said. "I think it's amazing to see. It helps the next generation to see they can be a part of this world and celebrated just as much as men. And what better place to do that than San Francisco?"
