Record of changes
August 31, 2026 — statedlater found incorrect
Automated extraction from the cited source. Recorded automatically from the cited source when it was published, then queued for evidence review.
September 1, 2026 — withdrawnlater found incorrect
Evidence review against the cited source. The source confirms the Warriors partnership and $50M annual cost, but contains no information about extensions to the Golden State Valkyries (WNBA) or Santa Cruz Warriors (G League) cited in the claim.
September 2, 2026 — stated
Correction after re-verification. Re-verification found the cited source does support this claim. The earlier withdrawal was made in error and has been reversed. Both halves of the attributed quote appear verbatim but in separate, non-contiguous parts of the article (the summary bullet and the "IREN's NBA Partnership" section), so the stitched quote is not a single verbatim passage though the claim's substance—including the Valkyries and Santa Cruz Warriors extensions and the $50M+ annual cost—is fully supported.
