The Golden State Valkyries host the Seattle Storm in San Francisco on Saturday night, and although the matchup has little significance in terms of the standings from visitor’s perspective, the home team will still be looking to secure a win.
She played in all six of her team’s games, averaging nearly 26 minutes per contest, which amounted to roughly 156 minutes over the course of a week. Williams also played a key role offensively for France, averaging 18.7 points per game. The decision could simply give the 30-year-old some additional recovery time as the WNBA playoffs approach.
There is no reported injury concern that appears to be behind her absence from tonight’s game. The biggest absence for Golden State is Gabby Williams, who has been ruled out for Saturday’s matchup. That designation could be linked to Williams’ heavy workload for France at the World Cup. However, France ultimately fell to Team USA in the final. However, she is not the only player on Golden State’s injury report.
The Valkyries have listed the French international on the injury report with “conditioning” as the reason. Her French teammate Janelle Salaun has also been ruled out for the Storm matchup, with “conditioning” listed as the reason.
