Kelsey Plum crushes the Valkyries while delivering a welcome to WNBA moment
It is usually the rookies in the WNBA who receive a 'welcome to the league' by the veteran players. However, on Friday, it was the league's newest WNBA team which was welcomed to the sport in similar fashion.
The Warriors' sister team played the LA Sparks in their season opener at Chase Center and suffered a crushing 84-67 defeat in their first WNBA game. A Kelsey Plum-led Sparks ran rampant on a newly put-together team of Valkyries featuring a few veterans and mostly inexperienced players.
Kelsey Plum scored a game-high 37 points, displaying the championship gene she brought with her when the Aces traded her earlier in the offseason. Dearica Hamby also played an important role as she led the defense and ended the night with a double-double. She scored 14 points, collected 10 rebounds and had three steals.
The Valkyries were dumbfounded on ways to counteract the Sparks on both ends of the floor. Temi Fagbenle and Tiffany Hayes tried to keep their team in the game but their efforts were not enough.
Fagbenle scored 15 points, collected five rebounds and dished out four assists, while Hayes ended the night as her team's top scorer with 19 points.
