Seattle Storm vs Indiana Fever Game Preview:
After finishing the regular season 23-21, the Storm were eliminated by the Aces in the first round of the playoffs. The franchise then underwent significant changes, parting ways with head coach Noelle Quinn. Additionally, Seattle’s top scorers — Nneka Ogwumike, Skylar Diggins, Gabby Williams, Erica Wheeler, and Brittney Sykes — all left in the offseason.
The Storm have entered a new chapter with young talent taking center stage. Dominque Malonga, the second-overall pick in last year’s draft, leads the team in scoring (16.0 ppg) and rebounds (7.3) through the first three games. Rookie guard Flau’jae Johnson has started all three games for Seattle and is third on the team in scoring (11.7 ppg) and second in rebounds (4.7 rpg).
Despite playing most of the 2025 season without Caitlin Clark, Indiana went 24-20 and reached the playoffs for a second straight season, before losing to the Aces in the semifinals.
With all 44 of their regular-season games set to air nationally, all eyes are on the Indiana Fever this season. Two big questions loom heading into the year: Can the Fever handle the pressure, and can they stay healthy?
“There’s always going to be a target somewhere when it comes to the Indiana Fever now, " said Kelsey Mitchell at training camp. “But the goal is to embrace the hard stuff. It’s not going to be easy. There are heavy hitters on every team, so you have to be able to handle hard, really, really well.”
Head coach Stephanie White says she wants the Fever to be known for two things:
“Grit and toughness. We want to be a team that when you step out of the gym after the game, you’re like ‘We had to work our butts off on both ends. They kept us engaged at all times.”
