Led by a committed Jewell Loyd, the Storm are ready to build on 2023

Despite missing the playoffs for the first time in seven seasons, the Seattle Storm can exit the 2023 WNBA season with a sense of optimism. An 11-29 record should not obscure how Seattle successfully sowed the seeds of the next, great Storm team. Jewell Loyd got buckets. Loyd not only won the 2023 WNBA Peak Performer Award for scoring after averaging a league-leading 24.7 points per game, but she also set the all-time record for points in a single season, scoring 939 points across 38 games played.
