Original Houston Comets player, Hall of Famer Cynthia Cooper spoke with FOX 26 Tuesday following the big news that the WNBA would be returning to Houston. As we've reported Houston Rockets owner Tilman J. Fertitta’s company, Fertitta Entertainment, has entered into an agreement to purchase the WNBA’s Connecticut Sun, with plans to relocate the franchise to Houston and bring back the historic Houston Comets name. Pending league approval, the franchise is expected to begin play at Toyota Center for the start of the 2027 WNBA season.
