"We are finalizing details regarding our potential playoff venue and will share a comprehensive update with fans and season ticket holders in the coming days, the Valkyries said in a statement sent to this news organization on Thursday. We appreciate everyone's patience as we work through the logistics of the possibility of a historic inaugural playoff run and pre-existing scheduling conflict at Chase Center."
"The Laver Cup runs from Sept. 19-21, but setting up the state-of-the-art tennis court and allowing players time to practice before the tournament starts is the biggest challenge. The event was booked before the Valkyries became a franchise. Golden State officials said an update on a decision on where the team will play will be coming in the next few days."
The Golden State Valkyries face a venue conflict that could prevent a home playoff game at Chase Center during their inaugural season. A Laver Cup tennis event, running Sept. 19-21, requires time to install a state-of-the-art court and permit player practice, complicating scheduling. The Valkyries likely will not earn a Top 4 seed to host two first-round games, so a single potential postseason game would fall on Sept. 16 or 17. The Laver Cup was booked before the franchise existed. Golden State officials plan to provide a venue update to fans and season-ticket holders soon.
