The Golden State Valkyries will begin play in the 2025 WNBA season, increasing the competition and strategic planning for other teams during the expansion draft.
In the previous expansion draft, the Atlanta Dream were allowed to select from players not protected by their teams, setting a precedent that the Valkyries may follow.
The Mystics will carefully consider which six players to protect from the expansion draft, prioritizing talent and first-round draft picks on rookie contracts.
As the expansion draft rules for the Valkyries are still being finalized, the Mystics' strategy will hinge on the contract status of their players.
