Steph Curry, Draymond Green & Others Add Star Power to Valkyries’ Historic WNBA Finals Debut

The Golden State Valkyries made history as the fastest expansion team ever to reach the WNBA Finals, securing their spot with a dramatic 87-77 overtime victory over the Las Vegas Aces in the semifinals. Their swift rise to the league’s biggest stage has drawn unprecedented support, including a star-studded sideline presence during their Game 1 clash against the Atlanta Dream at Chase Center.

Warriors legends Stephen Curry, Moses Moody, Draymond Green, and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg were among the high-profile figures cheering on the Valkyries, with Curry even offering pregame encouragement ahead of the series opener. The team’s momentum carried over into the Finals, where they overcame an early 22-14 deficit against the Dream to take a 68-64 win and a 1-0 series lead, fueled by a strong second-quarter surge.

Behind the scenes, Warriors coach Steve Kerr—who has championed the Valkyries’ culture from day one—was spotted in full purple gear, celebrating the team’s rapid success as a testament to Golden State’s basketball legacy.
