Kyrie Irving announces he’s now a ‘lifelong supporter’ of specific WNBA team he has no links to

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving shocked basketball observers by declaring his allegiance to the Golden State Valkyries instead of local teams during the 2026 WNBA Playoffs. Despite previously supporting the Dallas Wings and building ties with Paige Bueckers, Irving was won over by the Valkyries after they swept the defending champion Las Vegas Aces.

The expansion franchise quickly built a championship-caliber roster behind key contributors such as Veronica Burton, Kayla Thornton, Cecilia Zandalasini, Gabby Williams, and Kiah Stokes, advancing to the Finals against the Atlanta Dream.
