To kickoff their final road trip of the 2023 season, the Seattle Storm played the role of spoiler as they defeated the Los Angeles Sparks, dealing a big blow to their opponent's playoff hopes.

With their 85-90 loss to the Chicago Sky in their second to last home game of the 2023 season, the Seattle Storm were officially eliminated from playoff contention. It’s the first since 2015 that the franchise will not make the playoffs, as a year of growth continues.

The Seattle Storm began a four-game homestand with a tough loss to the Connecticut Sun, as a rough second quarter was a big factor while Seattle lost Gabby Williams to a foot injury during that frame.

The Seattle Storm started off the second half of the 2023 season off with a tough loss to the Las Vegas Aces, as Seattle had definite bright spots with obvious weak points. The Storm continue to plug away on different holes, but it seems whenever they do that another hole busts wide open.

Heading into the 2023 All-Star break, the Seattle Storm continue to display growing pains and continuing issues that they can’t seem to completely fix, with some injuries currently adding into the mix of what’s going wrong. With the break coming now, it’s a big opportunity for Seattle and their players to hit rest and get back into a focus they’ll need for the second half of the season.

In their third battle this season with the New York Liberty, the Seattle Storm once again fought hard all game long in a valiant attempt to upset one of the top teams in the WNBA, but ultimately could not get the closing moments late to go in their favor, partially in part to the fact that Jewell Loyd missed most of the quarter with a left ankle sprain.

The Seattle Storm dropped their third straight loss, falling to the New York Liberty in another contest that displayed many of the issues that they’d dealt with for most of the 2023 season in addition to a few other problems that Liberty took advantage of.

The Seattle Storm dropped their first preseason contest ahead of the 2023 regular season, as several of the Storm players were able to contribute to a strong first half. The second half saw things crumble in the third period, and it was all Mercury from there.

Entering a new era, the Seattle Storm likely needed a successful draft to send them into the future the right way. While it’s extremely early and there is still much to take place before an accurate judgement can be made on the four selections that Seattle made in this years draft, the Storm got four athletic and versatile players with one being a steal at the pick she was drafted.
