The Valkyries’ Gabby Williams shows support forGolden State Valkyries have been on fire as of late, as their 68-64 win in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals against the Atlanta Dream marks their fifth-consecutive victory in the playoffs — putting them to within just three wins away of a championship in just their second season of existence. At the very least, the Valkyries’ existence is keeping the good basketball vibes alive in the Bay Area now that the Golden State Warriors are on the decline.
Game 2 of the Valkyries’ Finals clash against the Dream will be on Monday night at 8:00 PM E.T.; during their off-day on Sunday, the Valkyries’ biggest star from Game 1, Gabby Williams, was in attendance for the Warriors’ open practice ahead of the start of their new campaign on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Williams is the toast of Bay Area basketball at the moment after her big Game 1 performance lifted the Valkyries to an all-important victory. She put up a game-high 26 points on 8-22 shooting from the field, standing out as the biggest star on a night where nobody could hit any shots.
Her presence in the Warriors’ open practice must have at least inspired the men’s team to show out, especially when the expectations for the Dubs heading into the 2026-27 campaign are in the gutter.
Stephen Curry is now 38 years of age, and in addition to all the growing concerns regarding his durability after he missed plenty of time last season due to knee problems, he tweaked his knee during practice — putting his status for opening night in a bit of doubt.
The Warriors are expected to hand over the reins to their young players, such as Brandin Podziemski and Yaxel Lendeborg, which could lead to a bit of a trying 2026-27 season.
As for the Valkyries, they will be locked into adding to their series lead in the WNBA Finals, making the most of homecourt advantage in the early goings of their clash against the Dream.
