Explore WNBA player picksKayla Thornton Bio
Kayla Thornton is a 6-foot-1 forward for the Golden State Valkyries. Golden State re-signed her to a one-year contract on April 13, 2026, and she was listed on the club’s final 2026 roster announced May 7. Thornton was born October 20, 1992, attended Texas–El Paso, and entered the WNBA undrafted. She later joined the Valkyries through the league’s 2025 Expansion Draft after playing for the New York Liberty.
Thornton built her career through persistence after going undrafted, including professional stops overseas, and became a veteran frontcourt contributor in the WNBA. She won a WNBA championship with New York in 2024 and earned her first WNBA All-Star selection with Golden State in 2025. Her game is associated with versatile forward defense, physicality and dependable effort; Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase characterized her as a defensive specialist. At UTEP, Thornton earned conference recognition and was an AP Honorable Mention All-American in 2014.
