Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is preparing for an unconventional morning as he supports the Golden State Valkyries in Game 6 of the WNBA Finals. With the Valkyries holding a 3-2 series lead over the Atlanta Dream, the decisive matchup is scheduled for an early 12:30 p.m. ET (9:30 a.m. PT) start on Thursday. Kerr expressed enthusiasm for the unusual timing, noting that he will be watching the game over breakfast rather than enduring a late-night broadcast.

When asked about the early tipoff, Kerr joked that the schedule allows for a more relaxed viewing experience compared to typical late-game scenarios. “We’ll be having breakfast at about that time, I think,” Kerr said. “I guess we’ll have a day off that day, so yeah, I’ll be watching.” The comment highlights the unique crossover appeal of the WNBA Finals and the supportive role the NBA organization plays in its sister league’s championship run.
Kerr further emphasized the logistical benefits of the early start by referencing a hypothetical alternative. “Better than, you know, having it at the YMCA that night, you know, in front of 75 people,” Kerr quipped, underscoring the massive production value and national attention the WNBA Finals currently command. The Valkyries now have the opportunity to secure their first championship in franchise history, with Kerr and the Warriors organization fully behind them for the final game.
