Valeriane Ayayi

Ayayi supplied 18 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one block across 22 minutes in Saturday's 93-73 win over Seattle.

Ayayi broke out in a major way, setting season highs in both points and rebounds as part of an efficient double-double. In her first WNBA season, the 32-year-old has struggled to carve out a consistent role, entering Saturday averaging 2.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 8.9 minutes per contest across 10 appearances. Given her largest workload of the season against Seattle, Ayayi capitalized with a stellar effort that could help earn her additional playing time moving forward.
