BRICK BY BRICK | Storm Hang Tough vs. Sparks & Aces + Lexie Brown waived

The future frontcourt is officially here. Domonique Malonga and Awa Fam got their first start together last night against the Los Angeles Sparks — and all five Storm starters scored in double figures in an 88-83 loss that came down to the final minutes. Hiedeman dropped 16, Malonga 15, Flau'jae 14, Fam 12, Horston 11.  Add that to Monday's showing in Vegas, where Malonga scored 19 in her first start back from concussion protocol and Fam posted a season-high 16, and Seattle is finally starting to look like the team this healthy roster promised. Erica L. Ayala breaks down what the Malonga–Fam pairing means for Sonia Raman's rotation, the takeaways from back-to-back losses that felt different than the rest of the skid, and the front office shakeup: Lexie Brown waived after two seasons in Seattle, Taylor Thierry signed to a standard contract, and what the open roster spots mean with Ezi Magbegor's return on the horizon. 🏀 Seattle Storm coverage.
