The Houston Comets are set to return to the city after nearly 20 years without a WNBA team. Houston billionaire Tilman Fertitta Entertainment has agreed to purchase the Connecticut Sun for a record $300 million. If approved, the Comets will start playing at Toyota Center in 2027. The deal represents a significant comeback for Houston, which once set the standard for women's pro basketball. The WNBA is experiencing a significant increase in popularity, with new teams set to join in 2028.
