Seattle Storm rookie Awa Fam has been temporarily suspended by the team, causing confusion among fans. The suspension allows Fam to join the Spain national team in preparation for the FIBA World Cup, which begins September 4th.
The Seattle Storm, currently holding a 7-31 record, were the first team eliminated from playoff contention on August 7th. Despite initial optimism surrounding the team’s roster, which included rookies Flau'jae Johnson and Awa Fam, as well as Dominique Malonga, Natisha Hiedeman, and Zia Cooke, the season proved unsuccessful.
Fans reacted to the suspension with surprise, with one fan stating, “Scared me for a second ngl.” The suspension allows Fam to return to Spain and train with the national team before the FIBA World Cup. Dominique Malonga, a second-year center for the Storm, was named an All-Star this season, averaging 17 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 1.7 assists.
