Seattle Storm has welcomed back Gabby Williams, who earlier this month assisted France in winning a silver medal at the Olympics. She has also signed a deal with the Storm for the remainder of the season on Tuesday. When the Storm return from their current road trip the following week, she will begin to play. She was acquired by Seattle Storm in a trade with Los Angeles before the 2022 season began, and it is going to be her third season there.
“We’re thrilled to have Gabby back with the Storm.” “Gabby is a dynamic player who brings tremendous versatility. She’s a two-way player who can guard multiple positions and has a strong offensive game; given her familiarity with our system, we know she can have an immediate impact. Gabby’s Olympic performance showcased her world-class talent, and we’re excited to have her join us as we push for the playoffs,” said coach Noelle Quinn as per AP News.
Williams had a fantastic tournament for France, averaging 15.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 2.8 steals.
