Kyara

Linskens

For the first time this season, the Valkyries will have their full roster available for a game. Billings returns after missing two games with a right foot injury. Her presence in the rotation likely means less of a role for fellow reserve Kyara Linskens, who logged nine minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Liberty.

Billings has missed Golden State’s last two games with a right foot injury, leaving the Valkyries without a valued reserve. The good news for Golden State is that guard Carla Leite has provided solid production off the bench, including a 19-point effort in the Valkyries’ May 23 win over the Sparks. Rookie post Kyara Linskens’ playing time has increased in Billings’ absence, but she has not been as impactful as Leite.
