With women's basketball booming in popularity, players and fans alike have called for expansion as the WNBA's current footprint of 12 teams, each with 12 roster spots, means the league can accommodate a maximum of 144 players.
Engelbert mentioned cities such as Philadelphia, Toronto, Portland, Denver, Nashville and South Florida as ones the league is in discussions with for potential expansion franchises.
The league is also planning to hold an expansion draft for the Golden State franchise, which has yet to announce an official name, in December. The Golden State team will play at the Chase Center, where the NBA's Warriors play, and practice at the Warriors' old practice facility in Oakland.
