I wouldn't expect her to be a heavy rotation player tonight with this being her debut. But with Thornton out and Billings questionable, it's not out the realm of possibilities that she plays more than we think.

More #Valkyries injury news: Monique Billings is questionable tonight with a right ankle injury.

I'll have more on Thornton's injury and how it will effect the #Valkyries later tonight, but here's the breaking news story: mercurynews.com/2025/07/25/val…
