The Golden State Valkyries have signed French guard Migna Touré to a training camp contract, the team announced on Monday.

The 6-foot shooting guard averaged 9.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game while shooting 55.4 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from beyond the arc for the Spanish-based team Spar Girona this past season.

Touré, 30, is the 11th player on the Valkyries’ roster to be born outside the United States. She was a key contributor to the French National Team as she averaged 9.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists at the 2025 FIBA Women’s EuroBasket Qualifiers.

In the 2023 FIBA EuroBasket bronze medal game, Touré scored a game-high 20 points to lead France to a 82-68 win over Hungary.

Golden State has made an emphasis to acquire bigger guards who have well-rounded skillsets like Touré in its first offseason. Touré will be competing in a crowded guard group that includes Shyanne Sellers, Kate Martin, Carla Leite, Kaitlyn Chen, Tiffany Hayes, Veronica Burton and Julie Vanloo for a roster spot during training camp.

The Valkyries’ current roster stands at 21 players, which will eventually get cut down to 12 before the team’s season opener against the L.A. Sparks on May 16 at Chase Center.

RUNNING

Sharon Lokedi broke the Boston Marathon course record, and fellow Kenyan John Korir joined his brother as a race champion as the city celebrated the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War.

Lokedi outran two-time defending champion Hellen Obiri over the final mile a year after losing a sprint down Boylston Street to her in one of the closest finishes in race history. Lokedi finished in an unofficial 2 hours, 17 minutes, 22 seconds — 19 seconds ahead of Obiri and more than 2 1/2 minutes faster than the previous Boston best.

Six months after winning Chicago, Korir finished in 2:04:45 — the second-fastest winning time in race history as the runners took advantage of perfect marathon weather to conquer the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston’s Copley Square.

After crossing the line, Korir was greeted by his older brother, 2012 Boston winner Wesley Korir. The Korirs are the first brothers — or relatives of any kind — to win the world’s oldest and most prestigious marathon.

Conner Mantz of Provo, Utah, was fourth after losing a sprint to the finish with Alphonce Felix Simbu of Tanzania and Cybrian Kotut of Kenya. Simbu was second and Kotut was third.

COLLEGE SPORTS

The NCAA passed rules that would upend decades of precedent by allowing colleges to pay their athletes per terms of a multibillion-dollar lawsuit settlement expected to go into effect this summer.

The nine proposals passed by the NCAA board were largely expected but still mark a defining day in the history of college sports. An athlete’s ability to be paid directly by his or her university is on track to be enshrined in a rulebook that has forbidden that kind of relationship for decades.

For the NCAA rules to officially go into effect, the changes prescribed by the House settlement still have to be granted final approval by a federal judge in Oakland, whose hearing earlier this month led to questions about potential tweaks before the new guidelines are supposed to go into play on July 1.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Duke star Cooper Flagg is headed to the NBA as the favorite to be the No. 1 overall draft pick.

The program announced Flagg’s move in a social media post following after a lone college season that saw the 18-year-old become only the fourth freshman named as The AP national player of the year while leading the Blue Devils to the Final Four.

The 6-foot-9, 205-pound forward from Newport, Maine, averaged 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.4 steals.

TENNIS

Jelena Ostapenko upset No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 6-1 in the Porsche Grand Prix final in Stuttgart, Germany.

Ostapenko beat Sabalenka for the first time in four meetings to win her first clay-court title since the 2017 French Open.

She also beat world No. 2 Iga Swiatek in the quarterfinals in her run to her ninth career title.
