Portland Fire

The Portland Fire were a professional women's basketball team based in Portland, Oregon, that competed in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The franchise joined the league as an expansion team in 2000, playing in the Western Conference and hosting home games at the Rose Garden Arena. Although the team existed for only a single season, they remain a notable part of the league's early expansion history in the Pacific Northwest. The roster featured players such as Sylvia Crawley and Vanessa Nygaard, under the guidance of head coach Linda Hargrove. The organization ultimately disbanded at the conclusion of the 2000 season due to financial difficulties.

The Portland Fire are currently a defunct franchise, having last competed in the 2000 WNBA season. In their lone year of operation, the team posted a record of 10 wins and 22 losses, finishing fourth in the Western Conference standings. They missed the playoffs, marking the end of the organization's competitive run. The team's legacy is preserved through the history of the WNBA's expansion era, though there are no active roster moves or game results to report for the current season.
