Story summary
Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel, wide receivers for the San Francisco 49ers, attended Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals between the Sacramento Valkyries and the Las Vegas Aces at Chase Center in San Francisco. The Valkyries won the game with a score of 83-81, making them one win away from the Finals despite being an expansion team since 2025. Evans praised the atmosphere as "probably the best basketball game I’ve ever been to," and Samuel noted it was even louder than typical NBA games like those featuring the Golden State Warriors. The Valkyries will face the Aces again on Friday in Las Vegas at 6:30 p.m. PT, with A’ja Wilson, who won her fifth MVP award earlier this week, leading the Aces.
