The Golden State Valkyries are gearing up to face the Dallas Wings in a highly anticipated WNBA Commissioner's Cup clash.
This Tuesday, the spotlight will shine on Paige Bueckers, the first overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, as she goes head-to-head with her former UConn teammate, Kaitlyn Chen. Chen, who was drafted by the Valkyries in the third round this year, was briefly waived before rejoining the team just this past weekend.
Both athletes celebrated a National Championship victory with the Huskies earlier this year, adding an extra layer of excitement to their matchup.
As the teams prepare for battle, the Valkyries hold a 5-5 record, buoyed by a recent three-game winning streak. In stark contrast, the Wings are struggling with a 1-11 record and have faced seven consecutive losses.
