Kaitlyn Chen’s Bench Spark Ignites Valkyries
Description
Kaitlyn Chen, a third-round draft pick with no guaranteed roster spot, exploded for a career-high 15 points off the bench, sparking a 19-0 run and turning the tide for the Golden State Valkyries. Shooting 7-for-10 in 25 minutes, she dazzled with clutch baskets—including a hilarious bank shot three—and brought infectious energy that lifted her teammates. Her impact was so profound that even her former UConn stars, Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, were on the opposing team, with Williams joking Chen had “X’s” on their faces. Coach Nakase praised her grit and endurance, and with this breakout performance, Chen may just be the unexpected bench weapon the Valkyries need to compete for a title.
