The Golden State Valkyries announced Sunday they have secured All-Star forward Gabby Williams with a multi-year contract agreement.
Financial details of Williams’ new deal remain undisclosed by the franchise. The 29-year-old athlete previously played four seasons with the Seattle Storm.
“For a player of Gabby’s caliber to choose us in just our second year … means everything,” Valkyries general manager Ohemaa Nyanin said in a statement. “She is world-class. One of the best defenders in the world, an WNBA All-Star, and someone who makes everyone around her better.”
During the previous season, Williams achieved personal milestones with 11.6 points, 4.2 assists, and 2.3 steals per game across 44 contests, starting every matchup.
The 2025 All-Star selection accumulated 99 steals throughout the season, falling just short of Teresa Weatherspoon’s league record of 100 steals established in 1998.
Since entering the league as Chicago Sky’s fourth overall draft selection from the University of Connecticut in 2018, Williams has compiled averages of 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.9 assists across 191 career appearances, including 135 as a starter.
