But Martin was sidelined for the finale, dealing with a right hand injury. In fact, she was listed as available just hours before the game began.
Ahead of the Sparks battle, Martin was seen walking into Chase Center rocking her first pregame outfit with Golden State. She went with a black Valkyries-themed hoodie with her No. 20 on the sleeve and black sweatpants.
WNBA fans appreciated Martin supporting the Valkyries before the first game in franchise history, taking to social media to leave their thoughts.
"Okay wait this hoodie," one fan said.
"This hoodie is 🔥🔥🔥," added another.

In her rookie WNBA season with the Las Vegas Aces, Martin averaged 11.5 minutes, tallying 2.6 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. She could get a chance to earn a bigger role with the Valkyries this season after being selected in the expansion draft back in December.
Following the Sparks matchup, Golden State will have a few days off before taking on the Washington Mystics on Wednesday.

Has the WNBA become a brutal league, or are we just paying more attention now?
Last July, Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson took a shot to the face from Seattle's Nneka Ogwumike that left her nose gushing. Wilson later said she'd never seen so much of her own blood. It didn't affect her game too much though: she finished with 24 points and 20 rebounds, telling reporters of the jab, 'I think it made me great.' When Caitlin Clark entered the league in the same season and was almost immediately swatted around like a fruit fly by veterans with years of experience and plenty of size on her, she didn't complain (though many of her fans sure did). Clark came back this season bigger and better, delivering her own message to the veterans who knocked her around as a rookie.

'I got scratches on my face, I got scratches on my body, and these guards on the other team get these ticky-tack fouls, and I'm sick of it. I get fouled like that on every possession,' she said. Plum likely had a point – the Valkyries had few other ways to slow her – but her frustration tapped into a broader narrative. This season is young and has already been dogged by complaints that the league is too physical (whatever that means), complaints that boggle the mind when one considers the way the WNBA has always been played. 'Physicality has always been a WNBA thing,' says Jordan Robinson, who hosts The Women's Hoop Show alongside Sheryl Swoopes, and is writing a book on the history of women's basketball. 'It's a sports thing! It's been a women's basketball thing since the beginning.' The first recorded women's basketball game was in 1892 – and by all accounts, it was tough. Advertisement People in 1892 were 'surprised at women playing basketball in general', she says, 'and later in the 1920s were appalled that women were playing a physical sport – and then! – on top of that, they were aggressive.' At various points in history, women's courts were divided into sections. The thinking was that it would keep players from sweating too much or using too much energy, Robinson says. The women's game didn't even include unlimited dribbling until the 1960s, out of a head-scratching belief that the players would get too tired. The idea that the women's game isn't, or shouldn't be, physical confounds the mind, longtime WNBA reporter and author of Becoming Caitlin Clark, Howard Megdal, says. 'This is a league of skill and strength and speed – it's amazing – and to me, that is a great thing. This is something I enjoy.' In other words, a WNBA without physical confrontation is a WNBA that far fewer fans would actually want to watch. Robinson agrees. 'When I watch the WNBA, when I watch professional athletes at the very top of their craft, I see competitors, point blank, period.' To Plum's point about the fouls called (or not called) during Monday's game, Robinson says, 'What she's saying is, 'I'm going to bulldoze through you if I have to, but, hey, there are actually rules in place so I don't get hurt.'' Advertisement Anyone who believes the WNBA has somehow ramped up the physicality only in recent years needs only look back on the league's history. South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley is known for her fiery sideline responses during crucial games, responses that she certainly displayed when she was in the W. Staley, her former Houston Comets teammate Tina Thompson once said, 'play[ed] with an unbelievable toughness' due to her 5ft 6in size. If anything, the physical nature of the WNBA has decreased in recent years as more player protections and rules have been put into place. In an interview with Sports Seriously this week, Diana Taurasi attributed the increased attention on physicality to 'more eyeballs on the game' but added that players who have been in the league for a decade or more would agree it's 'less physical' than ever before. Swoopes would likely agree. During her 10th season in the league in 2006, the longtime Comets great referenced the very problem that's still being discussed today. 'As far as the physicality of it, I'm glad I'm not a referee because you just never know. Sometimes they're calling every little bitty thing and you've got people complaining about that, 'Because that's not what the fans want to see,'' she said at the time. 'Now, it's very physical and people are complaining about that, 'It's too physical. That's not what the coaches want; that's not what the players want.' So you've gotta give and take. You've got to give a little and take a little.' If hard contact makes some fans uncomfortable, maybe it's time they found another pastime. Of course, one would be hard-pressed to find a professional women's sport that isn't just as physical (or even more physical) than the WNBA; American soccer star Heather O'Reilly once praised Abby Wambach as her 'dream player' after the latter had her head stapled back together while still on the pitch. Even a sport that's often considered 'feminine' can demand a perseverance and grid that would test the hardest NFL player (just ask gymnast Kerri Strug). Or maybe it's time for women's basketball fans to leap into 2025, a moment in space and time in which we recognize professional female athletes go just as hard as their male counterparts – and we can finally stop wringing our hands and enjoy every aspect of the game, even the hits.

S.F. Unicorns make long-awaited Bay Area cricket debut at Oakland Coliseum
Thursday opened with a five-hour drive from Pismo Beach to the Oakland Coliseum for Neville Smeda, a native of South Africa who was initially skeptical of how Major League Cricket would logistically pull off its Bay Area debut. Smeda made it through the gates of the former home of Athletics baseball with about an hour to spare, proudly decked out in green and gold. He was not repping the A's. The South Africa men's national cricket team, aka the Proteas, share the same colors. Smeda rushed up the steps of the Coliseum, a storied venue that had never welcomed the likes of cricket across its 59 years in existence, with one thing on his mind: Could a baseball diamond be adapted to the oval shape characteristic of an authentic cricket field? In the week leading up to the MLC season opener, a rematch of last year's finals between the San Francisco Unicorns and the reigning champion Washington Freedom, Smeda left the same comment on a number of the league's Instagram posts promoting cricket in the Coliseum: 'Is it oval?' He never received a response. But when the cricket purist saw the finished product for himself, he was more impressed than disappointed. The field on which the Unicorns bested the Freedom by a score of 269/5-146 — the largest margin of victory (123 runs) in MLC history — did not appear as a perfect oval. Close enough, conceded Smeda, who marveled at the fact that a crowd of 5,126 people showed up to watch a cricket match in California. 'I watched five games last year in Dallas, that was an OK crowd,' Smeda said of Grand Prairie Stadium, MLC's staple site in Texas. 'Maybe the most was about 1,000 people. 'This, I think, is incredible.' The sight was several years in the making. In 2022, MLC CEO Johnny Grave first identified the Coliseum as a potential forum for the 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup. The size of its playing surface, he said, was uniquely adaptable for cricket. The A's occupation at the time ultimately ruled the possibility moot. Bay Area cricket fans may have been the only people who actually applauded the A's move to Las Vegas, and Sacramento in the interim. 'In order for it to have real sporting and cricketing integrity, we needed to play in venues where the boundary size, the size of the playing surface, was akin to all the best cricket grounds in the world,' Grave told the Chronicle. 'The Coliseum is the only baseball ground in the U.S. that has that size of playing arena.' By the end of a seven-day stretch, nine MLC matches will be hosted in what was once the heart of Oakland sports, since abandoned by its marquee franchises. The Raiders left for Las Vegas in 2019, the same year the Warriors departed for San Francisco. And the A's are hosting a groundbreaking ceremony for their proposed ballpark in Sin City in less than two weeks. Sabi Lali, a Unicorns fan dating to their inception in 2023, was just grateful he could watch a pro cricket match in person again. Born and raised in India, home to the India Premier League, widely regarded as the best cricket league in the world, Lali has lived in the Bay Area for 15 years. The closest thing to live cricket he could find were community tennis-ball matches. Of course, he never stopped following his favorite IPL club, the Punjab Kings, as a native of the Punjab region. Most matches start around 7 a.m. PST, the start of a two-hour span when he shirks all fatherly responsibilities while his wife takes their two kids to school: 'I do not know my family during those two hours,' Lali joked. As soon as the Coliseum matches were announced, Lali purchased $200 worth of tickets to make a family field trip out of cricket's historic introduction to the West Coast. Because certain boundaries of the Coliseum's adapted cricket field were atypically narrow, sixes — the equivalent to home runs in baseball — soared into the stands at will. A whopping 19 sixes, the world record for modern T20 cricket (the sport's condensed three-hour format), were hit Thursday. As many fans had a chance to catch the game ball, albeit before throwing it back into the field of play, an unwritten rule of the sport. Smeda's piece of advice for folks used to catching baseballs with a mitt: 'Get out of the way.' A cricket ball is heavier and harder than a baseball, despite how easy world-class cricket players made it look to catch with their bare hands. One of the draws of MLC is how many top international talents the league has attracted. 'It's not just a slogan,' said Smeda, who especially lauded New Zealander Finn Allen, the Unicorns batsman who set a single-match league record for runs batted in (151) to avenge his team's championship loss to the Freedom a season ago. 'It was an amazing experience,' Allen said. 'We wanted to come out here, first time with Oakland, throw the first punch and put on a show.' Well before the final result of Thursday's match rang out over the stadium intercom to celebrate the local Unicorns as victors, cricket won. Smeda, who grew up playing cricket in South Africa from age 5, was in awe of the scene, marked by his beloved sport's uniquely diverse fan base all gathered in one place. The place in question being the Oakland Coliseum only sweetened the moment. It was proof of concept for what cricket, long renowned worldwide, could become in America — and especially in the East Bay, where diehard fans could finally emerge from obscurity Thursday. 'This is my happy space,' Smeda said. 'Cricket in America is one of those where you get nationalities from all over the world. I love to meet the Bangladeshi and the Pakistani and the Indian and the Sri Lankan and the Englishman and the Australian. I mean, there's just so much passion for it … which is one of the reasons I think (MLC) came to San Francisco because you have a very diverse population here.'
