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.<\/p>\n
Forward Cecilia Zandalasini<\/a> was ruled out for Saturday\u2019s home game against Washington (5:30 p.m., KPIX+) with a calf injury that has already kept her out of Golden State\u2019s last two games<\/a>.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Saturday\u2019s game begins a back-to-back set that finishes Sunday at home against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever.<\/p>\n Hall previously played on a seven-day hardship contract for the Valkyries while several of Golden State\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n Zandalasini and Thornton aren\u2019t the Valkyries\u2019 only injuries to contend with. Monique Billings has been out since late July with an ankle injury and guards Tiffany Hayes and Carla Leite were both injured<\/a> in last Friday\u2019s loss to Phoenix, missing Sunday\u2019s win over Dallas<\/a>.<\/p>\n Originally Published: August 27, 2025 at 11:11 AM PDT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Valkyries brought Bree Hall back on a seven-day contract Wednesday as they continue to deal with injury…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":180397,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[1339,15173,276,2473,1362,1370,15178,2750,15180,62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-180396","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-bay-area","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-golden-state-valkyries","12":"tag-inside-sports","13":"tag-latest-headlines","14":"tag-peninsula","15":"tag-san-francisco","16":"tag-san-francisco-county","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-united-states","19":"tag-unitedstates","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115102176119603243","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180396","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180396"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180396\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/180397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180396"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180396"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180396"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
