After two seasons with the Washington Mystics, Jade Melbourne has returned to the Seattle Storm, delivering career‑high performances and energizing a developing roster.

Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen’s rapid development in their second WNBA season have turned the Mystics into an unexpected early‑season contender.

After an 3‑12 start and an eight‑game skid, the Storm have begun to click offensively, but defensive lapses remain. A matchup with the Portland Fire offers a chance to reignite the Cascadia rivalry and reset the team's momentum.

Rookie guard Flau’jae Johnson is delivering strong performances for the Seattle Storm, averaging 11.5 points and 5.3 rebounds while becoming the first 2026 rookie to notch two double‑doubles. Her development is praised by coaches and veterans alike.

Veteran WNBA player Stefanie Dolson uses her calm demeanor, vocal guidance, and strategic insight to elevate the Seattle Storm, especially among its young roster.
