With an expansion fee rumored to be $15–20 million, this move signals serious investment in the sport’s growth, echoing Soon-Shiong’s vision of building a Lakers-like legacy for women’s athletics. Joining the WNBA’s Sparks and NWSL’s Angel City FC, the team will be the 11th in MLV — a league that merged with the Pro Volleyball Federation — while LOVB also plans an L.A. team in the same year. MLV’s expansion also targets Northern California, Minnesota, and Washington D.C., cementing L.A. as a powerhouse for women’s pro sports.
