The 2025 WNBA season is officially underway, as games have begun to ramp up over the last several days. One of this weekend’s top games will be between the 1-1 Los Angeles Sparks and 0-1 Golden State Valkyries. Both teams met last week, with the Sparks taking the victory behind Kelsey Plum’s 37 points in her LA debut.

The Golden State Valkyries are the WNBA's first expansion team since 2008. Here's everything you need to know.

The Valkyries recovered behind 13 first half points from starting center Temi Fagbenle. The 6-foot-4 center had 13 points, which included hitting two of her three 3-point attempts, to lead Golden State in the first half. Prior to Friday’s game, Fagbenle had just three made 3s in her WNBA career.

The Golden State Valkyries, the WNBA’s newest expansion team, just debuted this year. While their entry into the league proved exciting, the NBA 2K25 players can feel their absence from the game’s roster.

Golden State Valkyries guard Tiffany Hayes was helped off the court late in the second quarter and didn't return against the Washington Mystics after taking an arm to the face from Shakira Austin and going down for several minutes.

Valkyries head coach Natalie Nakase was all smiles on the podium after getting her first win with a victory over the Mystics.

The Bay Area's new professional women's team has partnered up with PG&E to donate $500 to two Bay Area programs focused on helping young girls and women. The utility will donate $500 for every free throw the Golden State Valkyries make this season,
