OAKLAND, Calif. - The Golden State Valkyries announced today that they have signed guard Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda to a replacement contract due to the pregnancy/childbirth exception for center Iliana Rupert.

Mwenentanda, 22, signed a training camp contract with Golden State on April 15 and played seven minutes in the Valkyries' preseason win over Seattle. The 6-2 guard played three seasons at Texas before transferring to Vanderbilt where she averaged 6.9 points, 3.4 rebounds while shooting 47.2 percent from the field during the 2025-26 season. Mwenentanda guided the Longhorns to the Final Four of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, opening March Madness with consecutive double-digit scoring performances.
