The WNBA's newest team, the Golden State Valkyries, will play their first preseason game against the Los Angeles Sparks at Chase Center on Tuesday, May 6.

The Valkyries also got a huge outing from third-year player, Laeticia Amihere, who they claimed off of waivers after the Atlanta Dream waived her.
