Donnie Wahlberg Leads Effort To Bring WNBA Team To Boston

A high profile effort has been launched to bring a WNBA franchise to Boston.

An ownership group led by actor Donnie Wahlberg and former NBA player Michael Carter-Williams is planning an offer for a WNBA expansion team.

Governor Maura Healey and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu are both in support of the effort to bring pro women's basketball to the city.

A WNBA game between the Connecticut Sun and Los Angeles Sparks played at TD Garden last August was a sellout.
