Never a dull moment before W season start. 😭⁣ ⁣ The Golden State Valkyries have waived injured guard Kate Martin ahead of the 2026 season. 👀⁣ ⁣ Martin appeared in 42 games for the expansion team last season, averaging 4.6 points on .319 shooting, along with 2.2 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per night. 🏀⁣ ⁣ She was originally drafted 18th overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft by the Las Vegas Aces, where she spent her first season in the league before being picked up by the expansion franchise. She quickly became a fan favorite with her underdog story. 🫶⁣ ⁣ She is currently injured with a Grade 2 right quad strain, which the Valkyries reported this week is “progressing well.” 👏⁣ ⁣ Any predictions on where she may play next? ⛹️‍♂️⁣ ⁣ #womenssports #basketball #wnba ⁣
