CHICAGO — You don’t have to convince WNBA commissioner Cathy Englebert that Philadelphia should get an expansion team in her league, at least in theory.
In practice, it’s a different story — even for a Collingswood native who played for Muffet McGraw at Lehigh, and whose father Kurt played for St. Joseph’s in the first Big 5 game ever in 1955.
There’s a lot of competition to join the 12-team league. But at a news conference before Sunday’s WNBA All-Star Game tipped off, Englebert made it clear that Philadelphia is very much in the race.
