Jayson Tatum shows interest in WNBA expansion team bid for St. Louis

Jayson Tatum is reportedly interested in bidding for a WNBA expansion team in St. Louis. This comes as the league prepares to add a 16th team in 2028, following the addition of three teams in 2025 and 2026. Tatum, a St. Louis native, could become the first active NBA player to own part of a WNBA team, as recent changes in the league's collective bargaining agreement allow players to own up to 4 percent of franchises. Other potential locations for the new team include Philadelphia, Denver, and South Florida. Interest in the WNBA is growing, with NBA stars like LeBron James and Steph Curry also considering investments.
