Hot dog! Valkyries' Kaitlyn Chen bids for pregame levity on Halloween
As the Golden State Valkyries prepped for Game 7 of the WNBA Finals, one player kept the mood especially light Saturday, as Kaitlyn Chen arrived at Chase Center dressed in a hot dog costume.
Golden State Valkyries guard Kaitlyn Chen arrived at Chase Center for Game 7 dressed as a hot dog. Limited selections at Spirit Halloween, she explained her choice as simply being the best option available. On Halloween evening, the do-or-die game between the Valkyries and Atlanta Dream saw Kaitlyn Chen donning a Halloween costume, a refreshing change from the typical stylish or comfortable outfits worn by her teammates.
Head coach Natalie Nakase was initially taken aback by Chen's get-up but appreciated the joy and self-awareness it brought. The Valkyries focused on dictating the first pass and maintaining a physical approach during the crucial match. Veteran player Tiffany Hayes stayed calm and composed, ready to fight for the title in the WNBA’s first Game 7 in league history.
