Valkyries Fans Cry Foul After Atlanta Dream Star’s Alleged Kick on Veronica Burton Goes Unpunished

Officiating controversy has been a recurring theme throughout the WNBA Finals, and Game 6 added another flashpoint to the debate. During Thursday’s matchup, some Golden State Valkyries fans took issue with an apparent no-call involving Atlanta Dream forward Naz Hillmon and Valkyries guard Veronica Burton. One Valkyries fan page on X accused Hillmon of kicking Burton while she was on the floor and criticized officials for not stopping play. “Hillmon just kicked Burton while she was on the ground. I’ve never seen a play that dirty before get completely ignored by everyone,” the fan page wrote .
