The Seattle Storm's 2026 WNBA season preview is a tale of rebuilding and transformation. After losing their top five scorers in free agency, the team is forced to start anew, with a roster filled with unknowns. The focus is on the returning players, particularly last year's No. 2 overall pick, Dominique Malonga, and the core designation player, Ezi Magbegor. Both players are expected to make significant contributions, with Malonga stepping into a starting role and Magbegor returning to the team after a successful three-year contract. The Storm also welcomes new additions like Natisha Hiedeman, Stefanie Dolson, Jade Melbourne, and free agents who fill specific needs. The team's head coach, Sonia Raman, aims to implement a fast, 'positionless' playing style, emphasizing versatility and decision-making. With a mix of experienced and young players, the Storm is poised for a season of growth and development, with the potential to become a formidable force in the WNBA.
