WNBA Facts
Since the WNBA began with eight teams in 1997, eight expansion franchises
have been added (Minnesota, Detroit, Indiana, Miami, Orlando, Portland,
Seattle and Washington). In the four years since the inaugural year, four of
those teams have reached the WNBA playoffs: Detroit (1999), Orlando (2000),
Washington (2000) and Miami (2001). However, none of the expansion teams
have advanced to the second round of the WNBA playoffs.

Hi, Mary! Thanks for writing. That's a really tough question. I really don't
have any one player that I look up to. I just really love playing in the
WNBA and competing against all the other talented players. Thanks for being
such a big fan!

Quote of the Week
"It feels good to be back. I'm proud of my team. I couldn't just pick one
individual. All of the starters played well."
—Betty Lennox, after scoring nine points in seven minutes against Sacramento on Aug. 5 in her first game since
her return from the Injured List. Lennox missed the previous 20 games due to
a strained left hip capsule.
