Some news from the Bay Area 👀🌁🇬🇭

The upcoming WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association)'s WNBA Golden State franchise just announced that it had appointed Ohemaa Nyanin as the General Manager of the franchise 👏🏾.

📄 Ohemaa Nyanin's resume runs deep in the world of basketball operations : she was with the NY LIBERTY (who reached the 2024 Finals) and worked with the USA Basketball Women's Teams (arguably one of the most dominant teams in team sports history). Her task will be to build a brand new roster to compete come next season ! 🏀

Sportico had reported that the Golden State Warriors agreed to pay a record $50 million expansion fee for this franchise. The Warriors ownership group is known for their ability to turn their franchises into profitable ventures (the Warriors are now valued at over USD 8 billion) and have stated their ambitions to do the same with the Golden State WNBA team.

The franchise is part of the WNBA's expansion plan - with other cities like Toronto, Houston, Philadelphia being considered. With new draft phenoms like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese, the WNBA has the potential to become a juggernaut :
