Iliana Rupert was away from the team on Tuesday due to an illness.

She didn’t practice on Tuesday but was wearing workout clothes on the sideline during the media viewing portion, and she said she was progressing well after being injured in a practice last week.

WNBA GMs voted Gabby Williams to the Valkyries — tied with Angel Reese to Atlanta — as the best off-season signing in the annual league anonymous GM poll.
