The Valkyries have activated forward Cecilia Zandalasini from injury and have waived center Elizabeth Kitley, the team announced on Monday. Zandalasini has missed the last eight games with a left calf injury she suffered just minutes before the Valkyries' game against the Phoenix Mercury on Aug. 19. Zandalasini is questionable to play in tomorrow's game against the Seattle Storm. According to a release from the team, Zandalasini will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis.

When Valkyries' rookie point guard Kaitlyn Chen first saw Jeremy Lin, she wasn't rooting for him. Chen, a Pasadena native, was in third grade when she watched Lin torch her hometown Los Angeles Lakers for 38 points during the height of the Palo Alto High alum's Linsanity run. But looking back on that moment, Chen has a deep appreciation for Lin's impact on her and the rest of the Asian American basketball community.

The Golden State Valkyries faced a tough defeat against the Atlanta Dream, resulting in a score of 79-63, ending their four-game winning streak.

"It's been about resilience," Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase said. "We're down players, but that's what I love about this team. It's not just the next one woman up mentality."

The Golden State Valkyries secured a crucial 86-76 win over the Dallas Wings, relying on strong defense and a second-half surge despite missing their leading scorer.

Golden State selected Iliana Rupert in December's expansion draft, and she will join the Valkyries after fulfilling her international duties. Rupert is a 6-foot-4 stretch five.
