Bueckers certainly is not the only player who will be debuting this Friday. Kelsey Plum will make her debut in a Sparks uniform when she takes the floor on Friday. They’re getting ready for their first bout against the Golden State Valkyries. That’s what makes this dual debut so compelling, highlighting all of that new blood entering the league and making this such an exciting season one.
The WNBA is on a great wave of success! On that same day, the league features other equally compelling games, of which fans certainly do not want to miss. The Atlanta Dream will take on the Washington Mystics to open their season. Look out for future stars Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen, as they show what they can do! What these matchups illustrate is the league’s amazing depth of talent. Aside from the ship, they guarantee an electric atmosphere starting with a can’t-miss opening night filled with drama and rivalry.
