WNBA GAMES ON TV THIS WEEKEND
All times Eastern
Wednesday, August 26
Golden State Valkyries at Connecticut Sun — 7:00 PM — NBC Sports Boston, WNBA League Pass (blackout restrictions and other exclusions may apply)
The Golden State Valkyries arrive at Mohegan Sun Arena at 26-11, four games behind Minnesota for the league’s top record, while the Connecticut Sun sit near the bottom of the standings at 10-27 and will be short-handed with Brittney Griner (left knee), Rayah Marshall, Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Leila Lacan all out. Gabby Williams leads the Valkyries at 14.4 points per game on 40.7% shooting, with Veronica Burton dishing 5.6 assists a night and Kiah Stokes controlling the glass at 5.4 rebounds. Aaliyah Edwards paces Connecticut at 10.6 points on an efficient 55.2% clip and Kennedy Burke adds 9.0 points a game, but the Sun’s depleted frontcourt makes it hard to see them slowing Golden State down. The Valkyries hold a scoring edge at 82.5 points per game to Connecticut’s 79.2, and with so much on the line down the stretch Golden State looks like the team playing with more urgency.
Toronto Tempo at Seattle Storm — 10:00 PM — Amazon Prime Video, USA Network, WNBA League Pass (blackout restrictions and other exclusions may apply)
Toronto Tempo head into Climate Pledge Arena as a first-year expansion club still finding its footing, sitting at 11-26 and dealing with a battered lineup: Maria Conde, Julie Allemand, Marina Mabrey, Aneesah Morrow, Brittney Sykes and Nyara Sabally are all out. Isabelle Harrison and Kiki Rice both average 12.0 points a game for the Tempo, with Harrison also grabbing 6.0 rebounds and Rice setting up teammates at 3.0 assists per game. Seattle Storm sit at 7-31 and 23.5 games back, but Dominique Malonga has been a bright spot, averaging 17.0 points and 8.9 rebounds on 48.7% shooting. Jade Melbourne adds 9.5 points and 3.8 assists and Awa Fam chips in 10.3 points and 5.8 rebounds off Seattle’s frontcourt. With Toronto missing six rotation players and Seattle getting steady production from Malonga in the paint, the Storm look like the sturdier side in a matchup between two clubs playing out the season.
