Golden State Volcaries are expected to be without three major players when they host the Seattle Storm on Saturday night in the continuation of the Commissioner Cup in San Francisco.
Among those, of which FIBA Eurobacket is expected to stay away from the team in 2025 for more than two weeks, the Genel Salon of France is. Salun on Monday contributed 21 points for the Golden State (4-5) in the 89–81 overtime road win over Los Angeles Sparks.
This victory improved the record of Valkyries in the Commissioner Cup play 2–2, with two games remaining in the conference.
Julie Vanlu, who made her second debut against Sparks, would play for Belgium in the Eurobacket tournament, while Cesilia Zandalasini, who had 18 points in the most recent domestic game of Vulcaries, would represent 95–68 thrashing-stalli of Las Vegas Aces.
FIBA Eurobasket 2025, 2026 FIBA is important for European national teams trying to qualify for the Women’s World Cup, ending June 29.
“We have a plan. You have to be prepared,” said Valakiris coach Natalie Nakez, whose team added experienced -free agent aerial power to fill one of the roster vacancies. “Obviously we want them to go with their hearts. We are supporting if they want to go to Eurobacket, we are supporting if they want to live.”
The roster of Valkyries also includes Temi Fagbenle and Carla Leite, native to England, France. Light is expected to live with the Golden State, while Fagbenl is on England’s roster, but neither she nor the Vulcaries have announced her intentions.
It seems that the storm has survived the export of WNBA talent, with a pair of Gabby Williams and Dominic Malonga, French standouts, to live with the club.
Seattle on Wednesday obtained the upper hand in the Western Conference Standing of the Commission’s Cup with a domestic win of 94-84 on an unbeaten Minnesota Links on Wednesday. This victory was third in a line for Seattle (6-4).
Hurricanes and links are currently tied to the top position of the west in the cup standing, with the owners of the Seattle Tybreaker. Each team has two games left, the top club of the conference earned a place in the cup final on 1 July.
It will be the first in the inaugural season of Walkaries, a trip to Seattle of San Francisco. It serves as a kind of home return for former Stanford Star Naneka Ogwumike, who had a 21-point in winning on Minnesota, 10-rebound double-dubble.
14 -year -old WNBA veteran, a Texas native, recognizes his decision to participate in Stanford that he was changing life.
“I am from Houston, so I am Southern, (but) I am officially a West Coast Girl,” said Ogwumike. “I have been in the Gulf (region), I have been in La (with Sparks), and now I am in PNW (Pacific Northwest). The west coast is just good for me.”
