Sees six minutes in win Martin finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one assist over six minutes during Tuesday's 77-75 victory over the Dream.

Impact Martin did see 21 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Sun, but garbage time was a factor in the blowout. Overall, Martin has seen 16.3 minutes per night this season with averages of 6.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists on 34.9 percent shooting from the field.

Notches nine points Martin logged nine points (3-11 FG, 3-10 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 21 minutes during Sunday's 95-64 loss to the Sun.

Impact Martin picked up some extra minutes due to the lopsided score. The Valkyries have lost six of their past eight games, so Martin does have a path to earn a larger role in the rotation if she can make some noise off the bench. Her shot has eluded her, however, as she hit 4-of-18 from the field in her last two appearances.
