The Golden State Valkyries will be missing rookie Janelle Salaun for the upcoming weeks as she reports to the French National team for the EuroBasket tournament. This announcement adds to the departures of other key players like Julie Vanloo and Cecilia Zandalasini, while Temi Fagbenle is also expected to leave for Great Britain's national team. Salaun, a key player averaging 11.8 points per game, will likely be replaced by Stephanie Talbot and Laeticia Amihere. The team also made roster adjustments to compensate for these absences.
"Salaun's departure is a big blow to the Valkyries. Though she had her ups and downs through her first eight games, Salaun was Golden State's most consistent shot taker."
"According to the WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement, any player taking a leave to play in EuroBasket has 48 hours to return after their national team has completed play."
