Mandatory Credit: Stephen Brashear-Imagn Images The Seattle Storm will get an opportunity to add to an impressive list of revenge wins in the early WNBA season when they visit the Golden State Valkyries on Sunday night in San Francisco.
Kayla Thornton had 22 points as part of a double-double when the Valkyries surprised the visiting Storm 76-70 on June 14.
Golden State got a combined 30 points from two players who might not be available for the rematch. Temi Fagbenle, who had 16 points and seven rebounds in the win, has yet to play since returning from the EuroBasket tournament, while Carla Leite, the starting point guard that night, has missed the last three games with a back injury.
The Valkyries remain without three others who have participated in the World Cup qualifier in Greece, with Julie Vanloo having made it to Sunday’s finals with Belgium, while Janelle Salaun (France) and Cecilia Zandalasini (Italy) will go head-to-head in Sunday’s third-place game.
Golden State has since gotten Tiffany Hayes back from a nose injury. She contributed 13 points, five rebounds and four assists to Friday’s 83-78 home win over the Chicago Sky.
Thornton led the way with a career-best 29 points as she continues to win over fans among her new teammates.
“I mean, it goes beyond basketball,” Kate Martin assessed. “She’s a tremendous person … but also a phenomenal basketball player. You can learn a lot from KT and how she plays. I’m just really glad she’s getting all the success that she’s getting. She deserves it, and I’m thankful that I’m her teammate.”
The Storm also added to their win total on Friday, rolling past the Connecticut Sun 97-81 in Seattle. Skylar Diggins had 24 points in the win.
Diggins was Seattle’s top scorer in the earlier loss to the Valkyries with 21 points.
The Storm have had an opportunity to avenge three of their six losses, and they’ve been successful all three times, turning the tables on the Las Vegas Aces, Minnesota Lynx and Phoenix Mercury.
Seattle took a similar approach into Friday’s game against the Sun, which was the club’s first action since a disappointing 94-86 home loss to the Indiana Fever on Tuesday.
“We wanted to have a better effort than we did on Tuesday,” Diggins assured. “We wanted to put this team away early.”
The win was Seattle’s fourth in five games since its last visit to San Francisco. At 10-6, the Storm are now 1.5 games ahead of the 8-7 Valkyries in the standings.

‘No pressure’ on Fabian Hurzeler to play Charalampos Kostoulas, says Brighton owner
Owner Tony Bloom says there is “no pressure” on Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Fabian Hurzeler to make more use of £30million summer signing Charalampos Kostoulas.The Greek forward was an unused substitute for Brighton’s 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the last fixture before the October international break. It was the first time the 18-year-old buy from Olympiacos featured in the matchday squad in the opening seven Premier League games of the season.AdvertisementHurzeler is also taking his time with 19-year-old winger Tommy Watson.

MLB playoffs 2025: Vlad Guerrero Jr.’s near-cycle leads the way as Blue Jays storm back for ALCS Game 3 victory vs. Mariners
SEATTLE — As the ball rolled rapidly toward the right-center-field wall, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s eyes grew wide. For the fourth time in four at-bats Wednesday in ALCS Game 3, Guerrero had blistered an offering from a Mariners pitcher and was about to reap the rewards.But this was more than just another well-struck ball. Guerrero’s first three hits of the night were a high-bouncing chopper that he legged out for an infield single, a screaming line-drive double that nearly dented the left-field fence and a booming home run to straightaway center field. If Guerrero kicked it into high gear as his fourth batted ball scurried toward the fence and raced for a triple, a cycle — just the second in MLB postseason history — was within reach.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAlas, it was not to be.
