The Golden State Valkyries unveiled their 12-player roster for their season opener against the Los Angeles Sparks. Key surprises making the team include Janelle Salaun and Kyara Linskens, while notable omissions include three draft picks and veteran player Laeticia Amihere. General Manager Ohemaa Nyanin expressed mixed emotions, stating that dreams were fulfilled for some while others were deferred. Coach Natalie Nakase noted the team's strong on-court chemistry, crucial for their preparation against the Sparks, ensuring they are ready despite losing players from the recent draft class.
Today is a bittersweet day for our franchise, general manager Ohemaa Nyanin said after practice Wednesday. Our staff made a lot of tough decisions today.
This 12 is connected, Nakase said. The spacing we had today was probably the best I've seen. In terms of preparing for L.A., they're ready.
