Kate Martin's Disappointing Injury News Revealed on Sunday

Golden State Valkyries guard Kate Martin is part of the inaugural season of Unrivaled, playing for a Laces BC team that made the playoffs and is set to face Rose BC on Sunday.

However, while many were hoping to see Martin in action in the Unrivaled postseason, that won't be the case.

Martin has been ruled out due to the left leg injury she has been dealing with over the last 43 days, per SB Nation. She last played for Laces BC on Feb. 1, appearing in only six games for the team and averaging 8.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals.

There was some hope that Martin would be able to return to the team in the postseason after it was revealed in their final few games that she's still undergoing rehab for her injury. Unfortunately, it looks like she needs more time to recover.

Making things even worse, Laces BC's opponents, Rose BC, also won't have a couple of star players on their side. Both Angel Reese and Kahleah Copper have been ruled out as well due to injuries.

Copper hasn't played with the team since Feb. 7 due to a right leg injury, while Reese suffered a hand injury in their final game of the Unrivaled regular season.

Indeed, it's quite the disappointing development for what would have been an exciting 3-on-3 showdown between two teams with big stars.
