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.

It was a close contest between the Sparks and Valkyries on Tuesday, but Los Angeles came out on top, beating Golden State 83-82 in preseason action. This was the first-ever game for the Valkyries, making this a historical moment in WNBA history.
