The Valkyries signed Bree Hall to a seven-day contract Wednesday amid a string of injuries late in their inaugural season. Forward Cecilia Zandalasini was ruled out for Saturday's home game against Washington with a calf injury that sidelined her for two games. Zandalasini had scored in double digits in each of her last five games and shot 17-of-31 (55%) from three-point range before the injury. All-Star Kayla Thornton is out for the season with a knee injury. The team faces a back-to-back, finishing Sunday against Indiana and Caitlin Clark. Monique Billings, Tiffany Hayes and Carla Leite are also injured.
Forward Cecilia Zandalasini was ruled out for Saturday's home game against Washington (5:30 p.m., KPIX+) with a calf injury that has already kept her out of Golden State's last two games. Before the injury, the 29-year-old Italian had been on a productive run for the Valkyries, scoring in double digits in each of her last five games as she shot a scorching 17-of-31 (55%) from 3-point range. She has been a key scorer for the Valkyries since All-Star Kayla Thornton went down with a season-ending knee injury.
The Valkyries brought Bree Hall back on a seven-day contract Wednesday as they continue to deal with injury issues down the stretch of their inaugural season. Hall previously played on a seven-day hardship contract for the Valkyries while several of Golden State's players were away participating in EuroBasket. She signed on June 18 and played eight minutes over two games for the Valkyries, scoring three points in a blowout win over Connecticut. Hall, 22, was drafted by the Fever out of South Carolina this spring and later released.
