Alana Beard to lead ownership group for Oakland WNBA proposal

The Golden State Warriors might never return to the other side of the bay, where they played for many decades, but it seems only a matter of time before professional basketball is back in Oakland.

Over the summer, it was reported that the African American Sports and Entertainment Group (AASEG) was seeking a 50% stake in the Oakland Coliseum Complex, which features Oakland Arena (formerly Oracle Arena, where the Warriors played). The group’s proposal relied heavily on the idea of forming an expansion WNBA franchise to bring professional hoops back to the city.
