Cecilia Zandalasini listed out for the Valkyries: the 19.2 minutes and who takes them

The read

ESPN’s injury feed lists Cecilia Zandalasini as Out (not specified not injury related). She has averaged 19.2 minutes across 35 games this season, and the Valkyries have already played one recent game without her — the only direct evidence of how the minutes move.

The listing

The listing: ESPN’s WNBA injury feed carries Cecilia Zandalasini as Out with a not specified not injury related injury, last updated Sep 6 at 5:28 PM ET, with ESPN’s estimated return date of September 18 (an estimate, not a confirmation; feed updated Sep 6). That is ESPN’s status, not the league’s official injury report.

Her role and the rotation

Her 2026 regular season in the ESPN game log: 35 games, 8.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 19.2 minutes. Over her last 10 of those games she averaged 10.2 points in 21.9 minutes.

The Valkyries are 26-9 in the 35 games she has played and 3-2 in the 5 she has not. A split like that mixes opponents, dates and every other lineup change, so it describes the season rather than measuring her.

The Valkyries have already played one game of their last five without Cecilia Zandalasini (August 30 against the Fire). Tiffany Hayes, who does not usually start, started that game and played 21 minutes, against 16 a game in the other four games of the window. That is box-score observation, not a published lineup.

She is not the team’s only listing: ESPN’s feed also carries Gabby Williams (Out), Janelle Salaun (Out) and Iliana Rupert (Out).

The Golden State Valkyries are 29-11, the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, 2 games back, 8-2 over their last 10, scoring 82.6 a game and allowing 75.4.

The market

The next price: in PropBetEdge’s latest capture for POR at GS (Sep 18), Valkyries are 12.5-point favorites and the total sits at 161.5. With the bookmaker margin removed, the market’s consensus makes the Valkyries an 86.4% winner — a market benchmark, not a PropBetEdge projection.

That capture (Sep 11, 6:00 PM ET, 8 books) was taken five days after the feed’s update, so the listing was public when the price was set.

What matters next

What to watch: the Valkyries’ next game, POR at GS on Friday, September 18; the first box score without her, which is the first real evidence of who takes her minutes; and player-prop lines, captured only inside 36 hours of tip.
