The WNBA has announced an exciting expansion plan that will see the league grow into three new cities: Cleveland, Detroit, and Philadelphia. This development is part of a unique experiment involving the cloning of Caitlin Clark, a renowned point guard. The league plans to create several exact replicas of Clark to populate its teams, offering fans a thrilling and genetically consistent basketball experience.
WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert expressed her excitement about this 'historic moment' in women's basketball, highlighting the potential of bioengineering to enhance the sport. The league intends to fill 18 teams with these 'Clarkoids,' all grown in a specialized facility beneath the WNBA headquarters.
Looking towards the future, the WNBA aims to expand even further by 2030, with plans to create more teams featuring clones of other basketball stars like Angel Reese. While the experiment has faced some challenges — such as an unfortunate incident where an entire team of clones experienced unexpected side effects during a debut game — the league remains optimistic about the project's success and its impact on the sport.
