Updated Aug 30, 12:23 AM CDTKayla Thornton returns to a core wing workload
Kayla Thornton should absorb one of Golden State's largest workload increases after three international teammates left for World Cup duty. Thornton started against New York but played only 17.7 minutes and did not close with the full wing group available. That context changes sharply in Portland: Gabby Williams, Cecilia Zandalasini and Janelle Salaün are all away, making Thornton's defense, rebounding and lineup flexibility essential. Her closing role has varied with performance and matchup, but she now has a clear path back to heavy starter minutes.
