The WNBA is adding another expansion franchise in 2026, and it's official: the W is coming to Toronto. Donnovan is joined by WNBA Toronto President Teresa Resch as they discuss what went into conversations with the league, how you capture new eyes for a league largely still new to Canada, and how the eventual (as-of-yet unchosen) name needs to represent the whole country (3:50). Afterwards, ESPN's LaChina Robinson stops by to share her thoughts on the new Toronto franchise, the 2024 crop of rookies (including the Caitlin Clark effect on the league as a whole), and her upcoming stint at the Paris Summer Olympics calling women's basketball for NBC (31:58).
