Angel Reese calls for WNBA’s expansion
LSU v Iowa
The WNBA consists of 12 teams so far, which translates to roughly 144 players. Whereas the draft includes a total of 36 picks, which are divided into three groups. Clearly, there are not many opportunities for more players to have a shot. Angel Reese, in a recent cover story with Harper’s Bazaar, wished for more teams in the WNBA.
“I hope that there will be more teams so that everybody has an opportunity because there are so many great players and they currently only have 144 in the league. I want the WNBA to grow,” said Reese.
WNBA All-Star Practice and Media Availability
Whether the league will expand in the future or not depends on the management and fans turning up to watch games. Angel Reese and other players like Caitlin Clark are the most anticipated to step foot on the hardwood. Their awaited entry in the WNBA does seem to overshadow other talented ballers who might also have a great chance to play in the league.
Phoenix Mercury v Las Vegas Aces – Game TwoThere are 30 teams in the NBA currently, with talks about a minor expansion still in play. There are already nearly 500 players in the NBA, and adding a couple more teams will increase the number, both in strength and monetary figures.
Such a big move will eventually be a reality in the WNBA, though it will take time. Regardless, Angel Reese shared a reasonable long-term plan for the league, which would increase the opportunities as well as the league’s popularity.
