The WNBA announced the parameters for the Golden State Valkyries’ expansion draft today.
The Valkyries, the WNBA’s 13th team, are due to begin play next season at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. With their debut season not yet underway, the Valkyries do not have any players on their roster, so they will be selecting one player from each existing team on Dec. 6.
Here are some key points on the expansion draft:
- The draft will take place on Dec. 6 and will be televised on ESPN.
- Each existing team will submit a list of six “protected” players to the WNBA approximately 10 days ahead of the draft.
