One undefeated WNBA team will fall tonight, as Chicago (1-0) visits Golden State (2-0) with both squads striving to keep competitive momentum alive — and veteran Gabby Williams making her mark.
It’s the second stop on a four-game Sky road trip, after Chicago outlasted expansion side Portland 98-83 on Saturday behind flashy new additions Rickea Jackson and Skylar Diggins. The win came days after the Sky cut 2025 WNBA draft pick Hailey Van Lith, with Van Lith since joining the Connecticut Sun.
“I don’t think you can go wrong with a lot of good guards, capable guards,” coach Tyler Marsh said last week. “It’s not like we’re just stock-holding a bunch of players. It’s players that can contribute and we’re going to find ways to utilize them.”
While Chicago banks on a rebuild, the second-year Valkyries are focused on a postseason return, starting strong with wins over Seattle and Phoenix behind seasoned jack-of-all-trades Gabby Williams.
The 29-year-old French international put up 19 points, five rebounds, three assists, and four steals in Sunday’s 95-79 victory over the Mercury.
“We’re just so excited how much she’s sitting really well with us,” Golden State head coach Natalie Nakase said of Williams. “Her selflessness in the way she plays — it just fits perfectly.”
