Houston, you have a WNBA team! ☄️⁣
⁣
The WNBA officially approved the sale and relocation of the Connecticut Sun to Houston for the 2027 season under new owner Tilman J. Fertitta. 🤝⁣
⁣
According to ESPN’s Alexa Philippou, the franchise was sold for a reported $300 million. 👀⁣
⁣
The move marks the WNBA’s return to Houston for the first time since the legendary Houston Comets folded in 2008. The Comets won four straight WNBA championships from 1997 to 2000, still tied for the most titles in league history. 👑⁣
⁣
The Sun spent 22 seasons in Connecticut, winning conference titles in 2004 and 2005 before missing the playoffs in 2025 with an 11-33 record. 🏀⁣
