Three games on deck in the W tonight:

🟣 Sparks at Sun — 4 PM PT
⚫️ Aces at Fever — 4 PM PT (Prime Video)

Connecticut’s trying to avoid a 4-game losing streak.
Vegas vs Indiana could be tight.
Seattle are favorites at home.

Somebody get the ice bath ready for Veronica Burton… taking a beating out there

Morning hoops, let’s gooooo Valkyries!

Being a Valkyries fan means:
A) Living your best life in a sold-out Chase Center
B) Mourning waived players you're attached to
C) All of the above

Love having @nnekaogwumike.bsky.social back in the Bay 🔥🔥🔥

In today’s ‘30 Second Timeout’:

1. NCAA tournament payouts are coming
2. UConn sets a $3M milestone
3. Iowa State’s decades-long streak ends

Transition offense, pick-and-roll action, and relentless crashing the boards—this clip shows just a taste of why I'm so excited for Unrivaled.
