The New York Liberty will visit the Golden State Valkyries at Chase Center in one of two WNBA games scheduled for Wednesday. This will be the third Liberty-Valkyries game of the 2025 season. So far, the Liberty have won both games, defeating Golden State 95-67 on May 27 and 82-77 on May 29.
Coming into the third game, the Valkyries are on a two-game winning streak and have their best shot at stealing a game off the reigning champs. The 2024 Finals MVP, Jonquel Jones, will be out for this game. Moreover, Sabrina Ionescu is dealing with a neck injury and likely won’t be at her best even if she participates in Wednesday’s game.
The Valkyries continue to shock the league with each passing game and could grab their most significant win of the season on Wednesday.
