Juste Jocyte - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Shooting woes in win Jocyte produced two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 21 minutes during Sunday's 86-69 win over the Fire.

Impact The Valkyries were shorthanded in their final game before the FIBA World Cup break, resulting in Jocyte logging a career-high 21 minutes. However, the rookie guard struggled mightily with efficiency and delivered a lackluster performance across the board. She appeared in just five games in August, during which she averaged 1.2 points and 1.0 assists in 8.0 minutes per showing.

Rare cameo Wednesday Jocyte notched two points (2-2 FT) over two minutes during Wednesday's 91-71 victory over Chicago.

Omitted from injury report Jocyte (foot) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Mystics.

Impact Although Jocyte put up a season-high eight points Tuesday, her playing time has fluctuated since making her season debut. The rookie guard has played double-digit minutes in only half of her four appearances thus far, so the Valkyries may not be ready to give her significant action.
