The social media accounts for each city posted responses to Cunningham, who said Tuesday she wasn’t sure “how excited people are to be going to Detroit or (Cleveland).”

Beat 'em with the facts. The Detroit Shock, one of the league's original expansion teams who won three WNBA titles in 2003, '06 and '08, relocated to Tulsa, Oklahoma before settling in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 2016. They are now the Dallas Wings.

The WNBA is expanding to 18 teams over the next five years with Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia all set to join the league by 2030.
