South Carolina women's basketball: Bree Hall waived by Golden State
The Golden State Valkyries waived former Gamecock Bree Hall on Monday, ending Hall’s second tenure with the team.
Golden State signed Hall to a seven-day hardship contract on August 27 following a rash of injuries.
One of those injured players, forward Monique Billings, has recovered from her injury. To activate Billings, Golden State had to waive Hall.
Hall was available for two games since being signed again, appearing in one. She played five minutes but had no stats against Washington.
Hall’s first stint with the Valkyries was from June 18-30, when Golden State needed a replacement for players who were playing in the EuroBasket tournament.
Hall appeared in two of a possible five games for Golden State, including a chance to play in front of Dawn Staley in her final game before being waived.
Hall scored three points in her debut, including a runner that was her first career basket. She was scoreless with a rebound in her second game.

Hall was originally a second-round pick, 20th overall, by Indiana. She played in one preseason game, scoring nine points against the Brazilian national team. Indiana waived her the next day.
Hall won two national championships at South Carolina and made four Final Fours. She was a starter on the undefeated 2024 team. Her defense and knack for knocking down clutch baskets earned her the nickname “Big Shot Breezy.”
After four seasons in the garnet and black, in which Hall won two national championships, four SEC regular season championships, and three SEC tournament championships, Hall was the second of three Gamecocks picked in the 2025 WNBA Draft.
Te-Hina Paopao was the first pick and has excelled for Atlanta, where she has been a part-time starter for the league’s second-best team. Sania Feagin was the final pick and has been a little-used reserve for Los Angeles.
