Open Extended ReactionsNew York Liberty owners sold shares in the WNBA team at a record valuation of $450 million for a women's pro sports franchise, according to multiple reports Thursday. The capital raised from the sale, which represent a percentage share in the "mid-teens," is believed to be earmarked toward construction of a practice facility in Brooklyn, per the reports. Earlier this month, Alexis Ohanian bought a $26.5 million stake in Chelsea of the Women's Super League in England. The Liberty are owned by Clara Wu Tsai and her husband, Joe Tsai, who also co-own the Brooklyn Nets. In March, the team announced plans to build a 75,000-square-foot practice facility for the Liberty, who won their first WNBA title last season.
