In a press release, Gores said: “It is an exciting opportunity to welcome WNBA in Detroit and provide additional investments and economic activities in the city.” He added that the offer “represents an unprecedented opportunity for the League to complete the loop and make a return to Detroit de Detroit.”
It is a not so subtle reference to the Detroit shock, which was added as part of the first expansion of the WNBA. The team has set numerous attendance records and won three titles during its trial of around decade.
