Seattle Storm 2023 season: 11–29, scoring 78.8 points per game and allowing 84.5 (-5.6 average margin) across 40 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Storm finished 11–29, 11th in the league standings, with a -7.1 net rating that ranked 11th of 12. The problems ran both ways: 12th in offensive rating and 9th in defensive rating. Nothing jumped off the page as a strength, and the weak spots were shooting efficiency (47.2% eFG, 12th) and turnovers (18.9 a game, 2nd-most in the league). The offense ran through Jewell Loyd, who scored 24.7 a night — 30% of the team's points, though the on/off numbers point to Sami Whitcomb as the one they can least afford to lose — +12.6 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: a 23-point rout of the Mercury on Jun 24. The lows: a 10-game losing streak (Jun 27–Jul 25) and a 41-point loss to the Aces on May 20. They went 1–14 against teams at .500 or better and 2–7 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a difficult season, with Jewell Loyd the main reason to watch and its shot quality the most urgent fix.
