NBA, WNBA Commissioners Respond to Sen. Wyden’s Letter Regarding Portland WNBA Expansion

Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has had his requests fulfilled, or at least they’re in progress.

Last week, Sen. Wyden penned a letter to NBA commissioner Adam Silver and WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert regarding the potential sale of the Portland Trail Blazers and expansion opportunity for the WNBA to the city.

It only took a week for the commissioners to generate their own responses.

Silver failed to respond to Wyden regarding the idea of Phil Knight buying the Blazers from Jody Allen, but did mention the idea of bringing a WNBA expansion franchise to Portland.
