Impact After missing two straight games due to a nose injury, Hayes was deemed available for Thursday's game against the Liberty.

Hayes dropped 19 points and nine rebounds in 30 minutes during Golden State's first game, but it appears she'll have to earn her role back after missing some time.

Goes back to locker room Hayes exited Wednesday's game against the Mystics after being hit in the face by Shakira Austin, Nathan Canilao of Bay Area News HQ reports.
Impact Hayes was on the receiving end of a physical move down in the post by Austin, and seemingly caught a shoulder to the face, resulting in a bloody nose. Hayes stayed down on the floor for a couple of minutes before being helped back to the locker room, holding a towel to her face. Hayes' absence should open up more opportunities for Veronica Burton, Julie Vanloo and Kate Martin.

Good for 19 points in first game Hayes ended up with a team-best 19 points (7-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) with nine rebounds in Friday's 84-67 home loss against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Impact The veteran Hayes also added an assist, a steal and a blocked shot with four turnovers in her 30 minutes. It's going to be a challenge at times for the veteran, but she is going to shoulder a lot of the offensive load in the expansion season for the Valkyries. For fantasy purposes, Hayes' arrow is pointing up. Next up is a visit from the Washington Mystics Wednesday.
