The Valkyries were crushingly eliminated from the 2025 WNBA playoffs on Wednesday night following a narrow, one-point loss at home vs. the Lynx. Had Golden State gotten the victory, they would have forced a Game 3 in the series, and against the No. 1 seed no less.
It's an abrupt blow to the Valkyries' otherwise incredible season, which saw them not only snag a COY win for head coach Natalie Nakase, but also make history as the only WNBA expansion team to earn a postseason berth in their inaugural campaign.
