Kiah Stokes made WNBA Finals history by tying the block record in Game 5 of the Finals, helping the Golden State Valkyries secure a 64-55 victory against the Atlanta Dream, Yahoo Sports reported.

Stokes, who has played in the WNBA since 2015 and is in her first year with the Valkyries, is known more for her defensive presence than scoring. Her performance in the Finals established her as a full-time starter for the team, according to Yahoo Sports.

The WNBA has experienced significant growth in 2026, with record attendance and television viewership. The Golden State Valkyries have sold out more than 51 games since joining the league in 2025, showing strong fan interest in women’s basketball, Yahoo Sports noted.

Despite this growth, the league has faced criticism for scheduling Game 6 of the Finals at 12:30 p.m., which some question as a reflection of how women’s sports are valued. The WNBA Commissioner framed the scheduling as a way to accommodate more fans and provide another championship experience, Yahoo Sports reported.
