To establish a WNBA team, Boston Women’s Basketball Partners needs to officially apply for a team, be approved by WNBA owners and pay an expansion fee. While the exact amount of the necessary fee is unknown, in Cleveland, the latest city to land a WNBA team, the ownership group behind the franchise paid a record $250 million expansion fee.

Michael Carter-Williams spoke with SB Nation about his plans, alongside actor Donnie Wahlberg, to do everything possible to bring a team to Boston.

The WNBA is in an expansion flurry, with teams in San Francisco (Golden State), Portland, and Toronto beginning play in the next two years.
