On Saturday, the Golden State Valkyries will host Game 1 of the WNBA Finals against Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream. Before the WNBA Finals get underway at Chase Center, Steph Curry made sure to show support for the Bay Area's WNBA team.
Before the Warriors tipped off their final preseason game on Friday night at Chase Center, the two-time Most Valuable Player went through his pregame warm up wearing a No. 22 Veronica Burton Valkyries jersey.
After sweeping A'ja Wilson and the defending champion Las Vegas Aces in three games, the Valkyries will host the Dream in only their second season in the W. The Valkryies finished with a 32-12 record on the season, finishing as the No. 2 seed in the WNBA postseason. To punch their ticket to the WNBA Finals for the first time, the Valkyries went through the Dallas Wings and Aces.

Burton averaged 12.2 points on 42.2% shooting from the field and 35.5% shooting from long distance to go along with 5.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds per contest. Burton finished the season in the top-10 in assists per game in the WNBA.
The Valkyries will open the WNBA Finals against the Dream on Saturday afternoon at 12:30 p.m. PT at Chase Center.
