The Valkyries set F Cecilia Zandalasini as active

What happened

The Golden State Valkyries set F Cecilia Zandalasini as active, according to the observed transactions log dated Sep 12. Cecilia Zandalasini has averaged 19 minutes across 37 games this season, a rotation role, so the move changes who is available for real minutes rather than the end of the bench.

The players involved

Cecilia Zandalasini, a 6' 2" forward, has played 37 games in the 2026 regular season, per PropSports game log, averaging 8.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 19 minutes. Over her last 10 of those games she averaged 10 points in 21.5 minutes. Her most recent game in the log was September 24.

Her 19 minutes a game would rank eighth among the 14 players who played in the Valkyries’ last five games — a rotation-level workload, not end-of-bench minutes.

How it fits

Where the minutes are: the healthy forwards and centers who played in the Valkyries’ last five games were Gabby Williams (29.3 min), Kayla Thornton (25 min), Kiah Stokes (24.4 min), Janelle Salaun (18 min) and Laeticia Amihere (12.2 min). The three lightest-used players in that window averaged 4, 4 and 4 minutes.

The observed injury report currently lists Iliana Rupert (Out) for the Valkyries.

The Golden State Valkyries are 32-12, the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, 1 game back, 7-3 over their last 10.

The line

The next price already sits after the move: PropBetEdge’s capture of Sep 29 (11 books) has GS at DAL on Sep 30 at DAL +4.5, total 155.5 — market consensus, not a PropBetEdge projection. A roster activation dated Sep 12 is not new information for it.

Next up

The Valkyries next play at the Dallas Wings on Wednesday, September 30; the Wings are 27-17 and 7-3 over their last 10. The first box score after the move is the first record of how the minutes are actually used.
