Adds 13 points in defeat Salaun supplied 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes in Friday's 73-70 loss to the Sky.

Impact Golden State's starting five struggled mightily Friday, leaving the second unit to pick up the slack. Salaun didn't deliver her most efficient performance, particularly from three-point range, but she still finished as the Valkyries' second-leading scorer. The 24-year-old forward has scored in double figures in three straight games, averaging 12.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 21.3 minutes per contest during that time.

Racks up 10 points off bench Salaun ended up with 10 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with three rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes in Monday's 78-70 win over the Wings.

Impact Salaun was able to shake off a knee injury which had her briefly listed as questionable to play after missing Wednesday's with the Sky. While she has managed just 9.0 points per game in the past three outings, tailing off a bit due to the injury, she has still managed at least one made three-pointer in 13 consecutive games since July 4.

The 24-year-old has played well throughout the 2026 campaign, averaging a career-high 13.1 points along with 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists over 22.3 minutes in 32 regular-season appearances.

Hot stretch ends Friday Salaun logged nine points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Friday's 94-76 victory over Dallas.

Impact Salaun is coming off a productive stretch, combining for 45 points in the last two games ahead of the meeting with the Wings. However, she cooled off significantly Friday, failing to score in double figures for the first time since the 74-69 win over the Mystics on July 18. Still, despite the quiet showing in the win, the 24-year-old has been a reliable contributor off the bench for Golden State throughout the 2026 campaign, averaging 13.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists while shooting an efficient 40.0 percent from deep over 22.4 minutes in 31 regular-season games.

Provides big production off bench Salaun supplied 21 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with one rebound across 21 minutes in Tuesday's 92-81 win over Toronto.

Impact Salaun didn't do a whole lot outside of the scoring, but fantasy managers can't complain too vehemently. She was firing on all cylinders from distance, and a point-per-minute production is very impressive. Salaun averaged 22.5 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.0 assist and 4.0 three-pointers per game in the back-to-back set against the Valkyries.
