Overview
- Laney-Hamilton told reporters on Tuesday that she is disappointed and uncertain about her playing time after returning from major knee surgery.
- This season she has seen her minutes and starts drop, has multiple DNPs, and is averaging roughly 4.9 points and under two rebounds per game.
- She missed all of 2025 rehabbing knee surgery and says she now feels physically better but has not yet translated that recovery into steady court time.
- Head coach Chris DeMarco and general manager Jonathan Kolb have publicly said she is valuable and that they have had ongoing conversations with her.
- Earlier trade discussions involving Laney-Hamilton have reportedly cooled and the approaching Aug. 2 WNBA trade deadline is the main near-term milestone that could change her situation.
