The Fertitta family has reached an agreement to purchase the Connecticut Sun and bring the WNBA back to Houston. The team is expected to be renamed the Houston Comets after the previous WNBA team. This is a major win for Houston, for basketball and for women's sports. The Fertittas, owners of the Houston Rockets, will also own the existing WNBA franchise. The move is seen as a significant boost for Houston's sports team, with a new seven-year collective bargaining agreement increasing the salary cap to $7 million per team. The Comets, who won the first four WNBA championships from 1997 to 2000, will play at the Toyota Center and have access to the type of analytical data the top sports organizations rely on.
