Janelle Salaün leaves Project B to join Galatasaray in Turkey

Janelle Salaün has withdrawn from Project B, opting to play for Turkish club Galatasaray. Salaün, who currently plays for the Golden State Valkyries in the WNBA, made the decision after signing with Galatasaray last month. Project B expressed support for her choice, acknowledging her talent and potential. The league's inaugural season is set to begin in December 2026, with several notable players already signed. Salaün's departure follows the addition of Leïla Lacan to Project B’s roster, though it remains unclear if Lacan is a direct replacement.
