Kate Martin is expected to suit up for the unbeaten Laces BC as they look to continue their dominant run in Unrivaled. The guard will take on Angel Reese and Rose BC on Monday as the marquee 3x3 tournament continues to chug full steam. Rose BC are 1-2 in their three games, while the Laces have already been pegged as title favorites.
Martin has been in rich form for the Laces and is not mentioned on the team's injury list. Jackie Young and Alyssa Thomas have been unfortunate with injuries for the side. Thomas exited the game with an injury during the 4th Quarter of the matchup against Vinyl BC on Friday.
Kate Martin's former 3x WNBA MVP teammate gets candid about the guard's move to Golden State
Las Vegas Aces superstar and 3x WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson candidly responded to former teammate Kate Martin's move to the Golden State Valkyries. Taking to her IG threads last week, Wilson was vocal about missing the rookie set to make her debut for a new franchise in her sophomore season.
"Did I scream and fall to my knees in the kitchen when I heard her name get called …lol yeah ..was I sad….absolutely! But no regrets at all because Kate is covered! 🤍 we love our girl! She deserves this shine and moment!"
Martin was selected as the 18th overall pick by the Aces in the 2024 WNBA draft and was regarded as one of the best defense-first guards in the side. However, with the team filled with enough players to fill the position, her minutes declined as the team eventually had veteran PG Chelsea Gray in full health.
Kate Martin has been on a tear in Unrivaled averaging 11.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.0 steals in four games. In her 11 minutes on the hardwood against the Vinyl, 'Money Martin' made 11 points on 5-for-11 shooting and recorded 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal. All eyes will be on the guard to see how she fares against Rose.
