The WNBA is adding its 15th team in Portland, the third new franchise as part of its most recent expansion, the league announced Wednesday.

The addition of the new Portland team underscores booming growth for both the WNBA and women's sports in general. The 2024 WNBA season has seen record numbers for both in-person attendance and viewership, according to data from the WNBA for the start of the season.

Exacerbating issues related to his flat feet, Lillard said the injuries stemmed from the lack of support he was getting from the standard insoles found in basketball sneakers. A high percentage of sneaker wearers also just use the standard insole that comes with their shoes. "The product has to speak for itself and the people that are putting the insoles inside their shoes," he said.
