On Friday night, the WNBA is set to kick off its 30th season with a flurry of matches to ring in the new season. While teams have had all offseason to make moves to put their best foot forward this season, it doesn’t stop in the days leading up to the action, as front offices around the association are hard at work.

The Storm make some roster moves
This was the case on Wednesday evening, when the Seattle Storm announced the waiving of two players, Jaelyn Brown and Rennia Davis.
Brown was signed to a training camp deal with Seattle after being waived by the Connecticut Sun in the middle of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old dropped 14 points across her two appearances with the Storm in their preseason slate of games.
Similar to Brown, Davis was brought on to the Storm’s squad in April through a training camp contract. In her two preseason appearances, Davis put up 13 points and six rebounds, showing flashes of scoring and rebounding for her team.

Now the two former Storm players will have the opportunity to float offers to the other teams in the associations as the season continues to get started.
All eyes will be on Seattle this season to see if they can make it beyond the opening round of the playoffs, dropping to the eventual WNBA champions, the Las Vegas Aces, in a three-game fashion last season.
The Storm are set to kick their season off on Friday night, with tip-off against the Golden State Valkyries slated for 10:00 p.m. EST.
