The Golden State Valkyries will check off another milestone Tuesday when they host the Los Angeles Sparks in their first game. Though only a preseason contest, this is a significant moment for the Valkyries, who are the first expansion team to enter the WNBA since the Atlanta Dream in 2008.

The Golden State Valkyries will hit the court for the very first time when they face the Los Angeles Sparks tonight.

After seven grueling training camp practices, the WNBA expansion Golden State Valkyries will get a chance to face an opponent when they play the Los Angeles Sparks at Chase Center in their first preseason game . The 7 p.m. tipoff is just a dress rehearsal, but the excitement from the players is noticeable.
