Steph Curry was in attendance at Chase Center on Sunday’s game between the Golden State Valkyries and Seattle Storm. Curry led a star-studded celebrity lineup supporting the WNBA, which also included South Carolina Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley.

The Valkyries hosted the Storm as part of the five-game schedule for the WNBA. The league’s youngest franchise has been the most surprising team of the season, with fans in the Bay Area flocking regularly.

There were some familiar faces courtside, including Curry, Staley and Brandin Podziemski. Storm legend and incoming Hall of Famer Sue Bird and USMNT legend Megan Rapinoe were also in the VIP section of the Chase Center.

Brandin Podziemski has been a regular at Golden State Valkyries games this season, while Steph Curry has openly supported the franchise. Dawn Staley has attended many WNBA games this season, supporting her former players from South Carolina.

The Valkyries have been very impressive despite being in their first season in the league. Coach Natalie Nakase has her players ready when their numbers are called. There’s no clear go-to player, and a different player is shining every game.

It should also be pointed out that they have been missing five players over the past few weeks due to FIBA competitions. Temi Fagbenle, Janelle Salaun, Iliana Rupert, Julie Vanloo and Cecilia Zandalasini played in the 2025 EuroBasket tournament.

Fagbenle suited up for Great Britain, while Salaua and Rupert played for France. Vanloo represented Belgium and Zandalasini played for Italy. Carla Leite was unable to play for France due to a back injury, while Juste Jocyte suited up for Lithuania. The fifth pick of the 2025 WNBA draft hasn’t played for the Valkyries due to other commitments.

Golden State Valkyries blow out Seattle Storm for 9th win of the season

The Golden State Valkyries dominated the Seattle Storm on Sunday’s game, beating their fellow Western Conference team 84-57. It was a total team effort by the Valkyries, led by the veteran Tiffany Hayes. She finished with 21 points, three rebounds and four assists.

Veronica Burton added 15 points, five rebounds and five assists, while the bench was huge for Golden State. Laeticia Amihere scored 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds, while Kate Martin, the fan favorite, contributed 11 points in 26 minutes.

The Valkyries improved to 9-7 for the season and have won seven of their last 10 games. They shook off a rough start and are firing on all cylinders. They start a three-game road trip on July 7, starting in Atlanta.
