Jordan

Horston

Horston will not play this season, as she suffered a torn ACL while playing in the Athletes Unlimited league in February. However, that has not prevented the Storm from securing the young forward’s future with the franchise. Seattle has picked up her contract option for the 2026 season. Horston finished fifth in voting for the Most Improved Player and Sixth Player of the Year awards in 2024.

While there was some hope that Mühl, who tore her ACL in October while playing for Turkish club Besiktas, would return later this season, the Storm announced Friday that she will sit out the 2025 campaign. WNBA rules allow teams to place players injured during the offseason on the suspended list, which means their contracts and roster spots will not count toward league limits during that season. Mühl appeared in 16 games during her first WNBA season, averaging 3.6 minutes per game. With Jordan Horston (knee) also ruled out for the 2025 season, Seattle will go into training camp with 16 players. General manager Talisa Rhea said earlier this week that she expects to begin the regular season with 11 players on the roster.

Horston, who appeared in 39 games for the Storm last season, suffered a torn ACL in February while playing in the Athletes Unlimited league. Making 14 starts, the 6-foot-2 forward averaged 6.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 22.3 minutes per game in 2024. Horston finished fifth in the WNBA’s voting for Most Improved Player and Sixth Player of the Year.
