Jordan Brand announces largest-ever WNBA roster with 11 signees
Jordan Brand unveiled its largest-ever roster of WNBA athletes Monday with a photo shoot featuring Michael Jordan and the league's 11 endorsees.
"The world needs female voices, and we can't ignore that or else we're not growing," Jordan said in a statement. "The Jordan Brand is committed to giving women a platform to amplify their voices, which influence, inspire, and push culture forward."
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the @WNBA’s inaugural game, Jordan Brand is proud to announce its largest female roster ever: A group of inspiring women, whose impact extends far beyond the court, and who continue to prove they’re here for a reason.

The roster includes Jordin Canada, Te'a Cooper, Crystal Dangerfield, Chelsea Dungee, Asia Durr, Arella Guirantes, Dearica Hamby, Maya Moore, Kia Nurse, Aerial Powers, and Satou Sabally.
"Representation really matters at this point in time," Canada said. "To have 11 Black women be a part of this brand allows the younger generation and younger women to see that they can be like us - they can have that opportunity. I didn't see that growing up."
