Golden State Valkyries Waive Kate Martin Ahead of Regular-Season Roster Finalization

The cut reflects roster limits influenced by her quad injury.

Overview

  • Kate Martin, waived Thursday by the Golden State Valkyries, entered the WNBA’s brief waiver period as the team set its 12-player roster.
  • She is rehabbing a Grade II right quad strain, with the team calling her progress day to day.
  • Martin averaged 6.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.4 minutes per game for Golden State in 2025.
  • Under league rules, teams carry 12 standard contracts and can add limited developmental spots, so a return after waivers on a different deal remains possible.
  • Golden State also cut second-rounders Marta Suárez and Ashlon Jackson last week, and both quickly signed developmental deals with the Mercury and Sun.
