Laeticia Amihere - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Training camp contract with GSV The Valkyries signed Amihere to a training camp contract Sunday, WNBA reporter Kareem Copeland reports.

Impact Amihere operated in an expanded role off the bench for the Valkyries in 2025 after seeing very little playing time in each of her first two WNBA seasons with the Dream. She appeared in 29 regular-season games last year and averaged 5.4 points,4.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.6 steals over 13.3 minutes per game. Amihere will have the opportunity to earn a larger role for herself in 2026 with Golden State.

Gets qualifying offer The Valkyries extended a reserved qualifying offer to Amihere on Tuesday.

Impact After a minor role in Atlanta for two years, Amihere joined Golden State and set career highs across the board. While she played more with the Valkyries, she came off the bench in all 29 of her regular-season appearances and averaged only 13.3 minutes a night. She'll return to Golden State in 2026, but a playing-time increase isn't guaranteed.

Doesn't see floor Amihere chipped in no counting stats in zero minutes during Wednesday's 75-74 loss to the Lynx.

Impact Amihere was a fringe rotation player during the regular season, but she saw only four minutes in the playoffs, all of which were in Game 1. Across 29 regular-season appearances, Amihere averaged 5.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 0.6 steals in 13.2 minutes per game.

Chips in 11 points in win Amihere posted 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four steals and one assist over 24 minutes during Saturday's 99-62 victory over the Mystics.

Impact After logging just seven minutes in last Sunday's win over Dallas, Amihere stuffed the stat sheet and contributed a game-high mark in steals. Her four swipes also tied her career high. Over her last five appearances, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 7.0 points and 5.2 rebounds in 18.0 minutes per game.

Very efficient off bench Amihere racked up seven points (3-4 FG, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 14 minutes in Sunday's 79-63 loss against the Dream.

Impact Amihere has been somewhat productive when given the chance. She has score at least seven points in three of the past seven games, but she was also scoreless in the three prior games to Sunday. Minutes are available with Monique Billings (ankle) continuing to miss time, and Amihere took advantage.

Fares well off bench Amihere supplied six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 77-75 victory over the Dream.

Impact Monique Billings suffered an ankle injury in this contest and was unable to return, so Amihere could see a bump in minutes in the short term if Billings misses additional time. The forward is shooting 47.8 percent from the field this season with averages of 6.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.6 blocks in 14.6 minutes.

JULY 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Collects four swipes in loss Amihere accumulated four points (1-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four steals, two assists, one rebound and one block across 16 minutes in Sunday's 95-64 loss to the Sun.

Impact Amihere struggled with efficiency once again and has now shot just 23.5 percent from the field over her last four appearances. However, she did record a team- and career-high mark in steals. The 24-year-old forward has appeared in seven consecutive games, averaging 3.4 points in 11.0 minutes per game during that span.

JULY 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays nine minutes in loss Amihere recorded four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist in nine minutes during Wednesday's 67-58 loss to the Storm.

Impact For the third game in a row, Amihere was limited to single-digit minutes. She's trending in the wrong direction for Golden State, having scored a combined eight points in that stretch.

JULY 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sees nine minutes in loss Amihere notched two points (1-2 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in nine minutes during Monday's 78-77 loss to the Mercury.

Impact Amihere's role in Golden State continues to trend in the wrong direction. She's seen 10 or fewer minutes in three straight games, making her hard to rely on in most fantasy formats.

JULY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient in loss Amihere contributed four points (2-2 FG), six rebounds and four assists in 17 minutes during Monday's 90-81 loss to the Dream.

Impact Amihere made the best of her time on the floor Monday, logging more minutes off the bench than Stephanie Talbot (6) and Janelle Salaun (4) combined. Amihere is becoming a more and more dependable player in a reserve role for Golden State, averaging career-high numbers in minutes (18.1), points (8.0), rebounds (6.3) and assists (1.8) per game during the 2025 campaign.

Limited impact in loss Amihere closed Wednesday's 81-78 loss to the Liberty with six points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 13 minutes.

Impact Amihere was really starting to trend up coming into Wednesday's contest, but she wasn't able to build on that momentum in this loss. In five total appearances for the Valkyries, Amihere has been a bright spot with averages of 8.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 blocks in 18.8 minutes.

JUNE 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Records double-double Amihere totaled 10 points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 87-63 win over the Sun.

Impact Kayla Thornton led the way in scoring for the Valkyries on Sunday, but Amihere made her presence felt off the bench with an impressive stat line. This was her first double-double of the season in four outings off the bench. However, it was also the third straight game in which she scored in double digits. Don't be surprised if Amihere experiences an uptick in playing time in the coming games given how good she's looked of late.

Plays well in win Amihere amassed 10 points (3-6 FG, 4-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal across 19 minutes during Thursday's 88-77 victory over the Fever.

Impact For the second game in a row, Amihere put together a very impressive performance. In those two games, Amihere has produced averages of 12.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.5 blocks, making her fantasy appeal soar in the process.

JUNE 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Catches fire Tuesday Amihere logged 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 80-71 loss to the Wings.

Impact Amihere led the bench with 24 minutes and finished third on the team in scoring behind Monique Billings (18) and Kayla Thornton (17). With four players unavailable for a few weeks while participating in EuroBasket, there'll be plenty of minutes available for Amihere moving forward, especially if she continues to produce like she did Tuesday.

Scores two points in season debut Amihere finished with two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound in 15 minutes during Saturday's 76-70 win over the Storm.

Impact Amihere signed a rest-of-season contract with the Valkyries last Sunday and made her debut Saturday. The 23-year-old forward will likely continue to play a meaningful role, as the Valkyries will be without Julie Vanloo, Cecilia Zandalasini and Janelle Salaun for several weeks due to EuroBasket commitments.

JUNE 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Joining Golden State The Valkyries signed Amihere on Sunday, Marisa Ingemi of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Amihere was claimed off waivers by Golden State in February but didn't make the Opening Night roster. However, the club waived Kyara Linskens on Sunday, allowing Amihere to occupy the vacant roster spot. The 23-year-old forward played for Atalanta during the 2024 campaign, averaging 1.2 points and 1.7 rebounds across 5.2 minutes per game over 16 regular-season appearances.

JUNE 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Golden State Amihere was waived by the Valkyries on Wednesday, Matt Lively of CBS Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Amihere was claimed off waivers by the Valkyries in February after being waived by Atlanta, but she was unable to make the Opening Night roster for her new team. The 23-year-old hasn't yet had a significant impact in the WNBA, averaging just 2.0 points and 1.4 rebounds in 6.1 minutes per game over 37 regular-season appearances with Atlanta. She appeared to be on track to have a chance to develop in Golden State this year, but the Valkyries will instead keep Kyara Linskens and Elissa Cunane on the roster, while Amihere will need to seek out other opportunities.

MAY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available Sunday Amihere (hip) is available for Sunday's preseason finale against the Mercury, Sara Gamelli of Ballislife.com reports.

Impact Amihere will shake off a questionable tag due to a right hip injury Sunday. The 23-year-old was impressive off the bench in Tuesday's loss to the Sparks, recording 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and two rebounds across 19 minutes.

MAY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Sunday Amihere is questionable to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Mercury due to a right hip injury, Matt Cohen of Winsidr.com reports.

Impact Amihere will probably be a game-time call for Sunday's contest due to a right hip problem. The severity of the injury is a bit uncertain, but even if Amihere is sidelined for the final preseason game, her chances of playing in the regular-season opener are to be seen.

MAY 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores game-high 20 points Amihere finished with 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and two rebounds across 19 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 83-82 preseason loss to the Sparks.

Impact Amihere not only led Golden State in scoring Tuesday, but he was the highest-scoring player throughout the game in this tight loss. She's gunning to secure a reserve role in the rotation, but performances like Tuesday's should boost her case for a bigger role ahead of the start of the regular season.
