HTH Episode 39: WNBA and NBA writer Chelsea Leite

Hitting the Hardwood - A Minnesota Lynx and WNBA Podcast

In the latest episode of Hitting the Hardwood, Mitchell Hansen is joined by Toronto-based WNBA and NBA writer Chelsea Leite.

Leite and Hansen look dive into the recent news of Toronto being awarded a WNBA franchise starting in 2026, including the announcement event itself, what the timeline could look like for announcements leading up to the 2026 season, if Leite had any doubts of if Canada would ever be awarded an expansion team, and more. The two then shift focus to the 2024 WNBA season and discuss some surprises through the first two weeks of the year before concluding the podcast by discussing the Minnesota Lynx, what we've seen from them so far and what we could expect the rest of the year.
