What happened: Golden State must decide whether its roster needs reinforcement before Sunday's WNBA trade deadline. The cutoff leaves the club one day to complete a deal.

Why it matters: A 19-8 record puts Golden State in contention, raising the cost of standing pat or sacrificing future assets. Any move would reshape the rotation for the regular-season stretch run.

By the numbers: The Valkyries are 19-8 with a .704 winning percentage, 2.5 games off the league lead.

What to watch: The deadline decision comes before Golden State's next game Sunday.
