Muted impact as a reserve Laney-Hamilton provided one assist across 13 minutes during Sunday's 76-67 loss to the Valkyries.

Impact Laney-Hamilton returned to the bench Sunday after starting in Breanna Stewart's (rest) absence against the Storm on Thursday. Laney-Hamilton was held scoreless for the second time in her last three appearances, and she's had inconsistent production while playing primarily off the bench this season. Across eight appearances (one start) in June, she's averaged 2.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 15.4 minutes per game.

Not starting Sunday Laney-Hamilton isn't included in the starting lineup for Sunday's game versus Golden State.

Impact With Breanna Stewart (rest) sidelined for the 99-88 loss to Seattle on Thursday, Laney-Hamilton got the start, though she finished with only three points and five rebounds across 21 minutes. With Stewart back in the equation against the Valkyries, Laney-Hamilton will move back to the bench, meaning she might only see 10-15 minutes of action, barring an injury during the contest.

Secures five rebounds in loss Laney-Hamilton chipped in three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and five rebounds in 21 minutes during Thursday's 99-88 loss to Seattle.

Impact Laney-Hamilton rejoined the starting lineup Thursday for the first time since mid-May. While she didn't have her most efficient performance from the floor, she matched her season-best rebound total in the defeat. Whether Laney-Hamilton remains in the starting lineup in the near future will likely depend on when Breanna Stewart (rest) and Satou Sabally (concussion) are able to return.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Seattle Laney-Hamilton will start in Thursday's game against Seattle.

Impact With Breanna Stewart (rest) and Satou Sabally (concussion) ruled out for this contest, some adjustments needed to be made, resulting in Laney-Hamilton making her first start since the 100-82 win over Portland on May 14. In four regular-season starts during the 2026 campaign, the 32-year-old veteran has averaged 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 23.8 minutes of work.

Ruled out for Wednesday Laney-Hamilton (knee) won't play Wednesday in Chicago, Madeline Kenney of the New York Post reports.

Impact Laney-Hamilton is dealing with some soreness in her left knee after undergoing a preplanned injection, so she'll sit out Wednesday's game, which should open up minutes for Marine Johannes, Rebekah Gardner and Pauline Astier. For what it's worth, head coach Chris DeMarco said he's hopeful that Laney-Hamilton will be able to return for Friday's meeting with the Mystics.

Iffy for Wednesday Laney-Hamilton (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game in Chicago.

Impact Laney-Hamilton is in danger of missing her first game since May 25 due to left knee injury management. If the 32-year-old guard isn't cleared to play, Marine Johannes, Rebekah Gardner and Pauline Astier would be candidates to pick up a few extra minutes.

Totals 11 points off bench Laney-Hamilton accumulated 11 points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and five rebounds in 18 minutes during Monday's 89-80 victory over the Sun.

Impact Laney-Hamilton was a spark off the bench, posting a double-digit point total for just the second time in the past six outings, including just three combined points in the previous two contests. Her rebound total was a season best, too. After a slow start since returning from three-game absence due to a personal matter, she might be rounding back into form.

Continues to come off bench Laney-Hamilton supplied one point (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and one steal over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 97-82 victory over the Tempo.

Impact Laney-Hamilton continues to ease her way back into action after missing time due to a personal matter. She played the most minutes of any bench player, but struggled a bit with her shot. Rookie Pauline Astier continues to play well, so Laney-Hamilton could remain in a reserve role until head coach Chris DeMarco is comfortable enough to make the switch.
