As several teammates head to EuroBasket, Thornton's role is critical in maintaining the team's momentum, as she continues to provide energy and consistency on the court.
"She's just super reliable," Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase said. "I love when people show me that they want to be that person. She doesn't just talk it, KT backs it up with action."
