Valkyries re-sign G Tiffany Hayes to 1-year deal

The Golden State Valkyries re-signed free agent guard Tiffany Hayes to a one-year deal on Saturday. Terms were not disclosed.

Hayes, 36, averaged 11.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 26 games (24 starts) during the Valkyries' debut season in 2025.

"Tip helped lay the foundation on and off the court for this team, and that's not something you take for granted," general manager Ohemaa Nyanin said in a statement. "She's an experienced leader and veteran player who showed up for the Bay. Being able to welcome Tip back to her second home is truly special."

An All-Star with Atlanta in 2017 and the WNBA Sixth Player of the Year with Las Vegas in 2024, Hayes has career averages of 13.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 376 games (303 starts) with the Dream (2012-19, 2021-22), Connecticut Sun (2023), Aces (2024) and Valkyries.
