The Golden State Valkyries are facing the Las Vegas Aces on Saturday in a nationally-televised WNBA matchup on CBS.
After starting a four-game road trip with losses against the league-leading Minnesota Lynx and the Atlanta Dream, Golden State (10-9) routed the Indiana Fever 80-61 on Wednesday in Indianapolis, spoiling the return of superstar Caitlin Clark from a groin injury.
The Valkyries held Clark to 10 points. Meanwhile Veronica Burton led Golden State in scoring with 21 points, followed by WNBA All-Star Kayla Thornton with 18 points.Â
Saturday’s matchup against Las Vegas (9-10) comes exactly five weeks after the Valkyries stunned the Aces in a 95-68 victory at the Chase Center in San Francisco. On June 7, Thornton, Burton and Monique Billings had double-doubles in the 27-point win, the first ever meeeting between the two teams.
Following Saturday’s game, the Valkyries return to the Bay Area for a Monday night game against the Phoenix Mercury. The Valkyries have sold out every home game so far in their inaugural season.
