Juste Jocyte's Girona's season is *over*, but Jocyte was injured on the penultimate play. Awkward landing with legs tangled with foe. Jocyte might take longer than expected to join Valkyries depending on severity of this injury. 10 May 2026 18:49 +0000at://did:plc:sskboyevrvghclhrrgpttls5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mljgf5m7jf2phttps://bsky.app/profile/ericapricot.bsky.social/post/3mljfb6a7le2tNext few minutes are pivotal for Golden State. I mean, of course, Valkyrie Juste Jocyte’s Girona needs to win by 2 over Valencia (Awa Fam and Leonie Fiebich). If Juste loses, her season is over and she should join GSV in coming days. A victory would extend season at least a week.10 May 2026 18:29 +0000at://did:plc:sskboyevrvghclhrrgpttls5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mljfb6a7le2thttps://bsky.app/profile/ericapricot.bsky.social/post/3mlit5krx7h2cExplain One Play: Valkyries keep running the Steph Curry WTF play against SEA by Eric Apricot Video breakdown of sidelines out-of-bounds play with signals, counter-intelligence and counter-counter-intelligence10 May 2026 13:05 +0000at://did:plc:sskboyevrvghclhrrgpttls5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlit5krx7h2chttps://bsky.app/profile/ericapricot.bsky.social/post/3mlfi2h7qpr2jGame 1 wrap by @EricApricot - live game notes - advanced box scores - wondering how GSV gets away with running the same Warriors out of bounds play "What The F___" 25 times in a row 09 May 2026 05:08 +0000at://did:plc:sskboyevrvghclhrrgpttls5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlfi2h7qpr2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/ericapricot.bsky.social/post/3mlewrk344f2zCoach Nakase pre-game, tiny nuggets: - She's heartbroken about waiving Kate Martin - Miela Sowah is a game-time decision - Players have been talking to Iliana Rupert's belly in timeouts, it's cute08 May 2026 23:59 +0000at://did:plc:sskboyevrvghclhrrgpttls5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlewrk344f2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/ericapricot.bsky.social/post/3mleeh6dh6k2tHigh praise coming from super reporter Marisa Ingemi.

League source confirms I was correct: there is no Dearica Hamby Rule that wipes out Rupert's salary from the cap. - Iliana Rupert will be paid her full salary. - Her salary DOES count towards the salary cap. - Exception allows GSV to go over cap to sign replacement08 May 2026 16:51 +0000at://did:plc:sskboyevrvghclhrrgpttls5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mle6uamms22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/ericapricot.bsky.social/post/3mle2yw25qx2tValkyries sign Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda to a replacement contract for Iliana Rupert. NM was waived after GSV training camp. Jak is called a guard in press but at 6-2 she’s not short (Amihere and Stokes are 6-3). But she’s no center either. 08 May 2026 15:42 +0000at://did:plc:sskboyevrvghclhrrgpttls5/app.bsky.feed.post/3mle2yw25qx2thttps://bsky.app/profile/ericapricot.bsky.social/post/3mlckiobhsy2zThoughts on Kate Martin’s waiver, the devastating loss of Iliana Rupert (congrats though), Miela’s return, and Draft Day.
