Detroit to return as WBNA franchise city in 2029
Detroit, Cleveland and Philadelphia have been named the next three cities to get expansion teams in the WNBA. Detroit's first year of play is expected to be in 2029, according to the announcement. The women's team will play in Little Ceasars Arena, home of the NBA's Detroit Pistons. A new practice facility will be built. The majority ownership is Tom Gores, who owns the Pistons. Minority owners will be Grant Hill, Chris Webber and Jared Goff. He formally submitted a bid on behalf of an expansion ownership group in January. "I think this will be bigger than just the basketball team coming back. It's recognition of all the things that are happening in the city. And finally, I think it's going to have a real economic impact," Pistons vice chairman Arn Tellem said. Detroit was first awarded a WNBA franchise in 1996. The Detroit Shock played in Auburn Hills from 1998 to 2009, with the team moving to Tulsa and then Dallas. "Detroit is a sports town that loves its teams deeply and consistently shows up with unwavering passion," Gores said when the plans were announced. "At a critical moment in the growth and development of the WNBA, it supported the hometown team more than any other franchise in the league. We're here to rekindle that legacy." Cleveland will start playing in the league in 2028 at Rocket Arena, home of the Cavaliers. The majority ownership is with Dan Gilbert, who owns the Cavaliers. Cleveland also is a former home city for the WNBA. Philadelphia will start playing in the league in 2030 in a new arena in downtown Philadelphia. The majority ownership is with Josh Harris, who owns the Philadelphia 76ers. That city has not previously hosted a WNBA team. contributed to this report.

Charlize Theron speaks out on immigration policies that have ‘destroyed the lives of families, not criminals'
Charlize Theron, a naturalized US citizen, spoke out about changing policies in the country she has made her home. At her annual Africa Outreach Project Block Party over the weekend, Theron thanked attendees for 'taking the time to be a part of this, especially when the world feels like it's burning because it is.' 'Here in Los Angeles, in the US and across the globe, we're moving backwards fast. Immigration policy has destroyed the lives of families, not criminals; women's rights are becoming less and less every day; queer and trans lives are increasingly being erased; and gender-based violence is on the rise,' Theron said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The issue of immigration is very personal to the star, who immigrated from South Africa to the United States and became a US citizen in 2007. Her block party is held to raise funds to help youth in Africa. Theron spoke out against US aid 'cuts [that] have brought HIV and AIDS programs in my home country of South Africa to an absolute standstill.' 'All of this is not just detrimental, it's dangerous; people will lose their lives — many have already, unfortunately, and at a frightening rate,' she said. 'It's absolutely heartbreaking to see this kind of unnecessary suffering.' 'But what we also see, what we cannot miss, is the resistance. There is hope,' Theron added. 'There is power in all of us standing up, organizing, protesting, voting, and caring for each other, and refusing to accept that this is the new normal.' The event is part of the star's nonprofit the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project.

SCOTUS orders judges to revisit decisions on transgender health plans, birth certificates in wake of blockbuster ruling
The Supreme Court on Monday tossed aside a handful of lower court rulings that sided with transgender Americans, requiring that judges in those cases revisit their decisions in the wake of a blockbuster ruling this month that upheld a ban on gender-affirming care for trans youth. The justices upended rulings that blocked state policies excluding coverage for gender-affirming care in state-sponsored health insurance plans. In a loss for the transgender Americans who sued, those decisions will now be reviewed again. The high court also upended an appeals court ruling that went against Oklahoma in a challenge to the state's effort to ban transgender residents from changing the sex designation on their birth certificates. Lower courts must now review the trio of cases again in light of the Supreme Court's major decision on June 18 that upheld Tennessee's ban on puberty blockers and hormone therapy for trans minors. The 6-3 ruling in US v. Skrmetti steered clear of discussion about other laws involving transgender Americans, but it also did little to protect them in other cases. The court ruled that Tennessee had not discriminated on the basis of sex, which gave the state far more room to regulate medical care. The court also held that the law did not discriminate on the basis of transgender status. This story is breaking and will be updated.
