Reporter Kelsi Thorud talked with players from the WNBA's Golden State Valkyries about playing for the home crowd at Chase Center and getting ready for regular season.

The Valkyries rallied from a 14-point halftime deficit and tied the game two separate times in the second half, but fell just short in the end as Laeticia Amihere’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer cut the Los Angeles lead from four the clock hit zeroes.

Justė Jocytė, the Valkyries’ first-round draft choice, was not named to the team’s training camp roster, confirming that she will not be joining the team to start the season. Janelle Salaün and Elissa Cunane are expected to join the roster at a later date after they fulfill international commitments.
