Cleveland's WNBA team hints at Sirens name, announcement expected soon
Summary

The Cleveland WNBA team is reportedly teasing the name "Cleveland Sirens," potentially connected to Greek mythology. This comes after a mysterious sandcastle with the phrase "Hear The Call" appeared in Edgewater Park on July 31. The team, which has yet to officially adopt a name since receiving its expansion franchise last year, is set to make an announcement on August 4 at Rocket Arena. There has been speculation about the team's nickname since Cleveland was awarded the franchise.
