Impact Fam struggled with efficiency from inside the arc, though she knocked down two triples for a second straight game. The rookie No. 3 overall pick logged a season-high 35 minutes and also grabbed six or more rebounds for the fourth time over the last six games. She will likely continue to start and see heavy minutes until Ezi Magbegor (foot) is cleared to return.

Leads way with 18 points Fam ended Wednesday's 72-68 loss to Phoenix with 18 points (9-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes.

Impact Fam moved into the starting lineup in place of Jade Melbourne, and the rookie led the Storm in points. It remains unclear whether the move was matchup-based or a long-term move, but she certainly did nothing to hurt her chances of drawing another start in the short term. She also added two of the team's five blocks, while tying a team best with the six boards. Fam continues to make the most of her minutes, and she might be one of the most productive Storm players from a fantasy perspective.

Starting Wednesday Fam will start Wednesday against the Mercury.

Impact Fam has been trending up as of late, and she will replace Jade Melbourne in the first unit for Wednesday's game. It's unclear whether this is a matchup-based move or a long-term thing, but Fam's value is trending upward with the starter designation. Joining her in the first unit will be Natisha Hiedeman, Flau'jae Johnson, Jordan Horston and Stefanie Dolson.

Provides spark off bench Fam totaled eight points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and four steals across 31 minutes during Monday's 79-56 loss to the Wings.

Impact Fam has been seeing a regular role off the bench after fulfilling her overseas commitments. She has given the Storm a shot in the arm on offense in a reserve role, going for 7.8 points in four games, while posting at least five rebounds in each of the past three outings. Her seven boards and four steals marked new career bests, too.

JUNE 2 • ROTOWIRE

Settling into action Fam chipped in six points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and five rebounds over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 78-64 loss to the Mystics.

Impact Fam continues to settle into the lineup after finishing an overseas commitment and a return-to-competition reconditioning program. With the rookie first-rounder now in the fold, Zia Cooke could see less usage moving forward.

Scores 10 points in debut Fam supplied 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 20 minutes during Sunday's 97-85 win over the Mystics.

Impact Fam made her league debut after missing the first six games while fulfilling an overseas commitment and completing a reconditioning process. The No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft came off the bench but still saw a healthy workload and reached double figures in scoring. The progression of the 19-year-old's role and usage will be worth monitoring moving forward, with the Storm set to face the Mystics again Wednesday.

MAY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Fam (conditioning) is available for Sunday's game versus the Mystics.

Impact Fam is set to make her regular-season debut for the Storm on Sunday, and the 2026 No. 3 overall pick should be in the rotation right away. With Fam active, Mackenzie Holmes and Joyner Holmes' playing time could dip a bit.

Upgraded to probable Fam (conditioning) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's game against the Mystics.

Impact It looks like Fam will be making her regular-season debut for the Mystics on Sunday. It'll be interesting to see how 2026's No. 3 overall selection is used in Seattle's rotation.

MAY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable versus Washington Fam (return to competition reconditioning) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Mystics.

Impact Fam missed the start of the 2026 campaign while fulfilling her overseas obligations. The 2026 No. 3 overall pick was expected to suit up for Friday's 77-59 win over Connecticut. However, the team opted to give her the night off to rest. Fam might be eased into action even if she's cleared to play against Washington, although that may not be the case if Dominique Malonga (concussion), who is also questionable, can't get on the floor.

MAY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Resting Friday Fam (rest) won't play in Friday's game against Connecticut, Roberta Rodrigues of Beta Basket reports.

Impact Fam was expected to make her WNBA debut Friday after missing the start of the season while fulfilling an overseas obligation. However, the rookie will get the night off to rest, meaning her next chance to play will be Sunday versus Washington.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for 2026 debut Fam (overseas commitment) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Sun.

Impact Fam has arrived in Seattle after fulfilling an overseas commitment, and she'll be available for Friday's clash after being omitted from the injury report. The No. 3 draft pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, Fam is expected to immediately step into the rotation and contribute.

MAY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Could debut Friday Fam (overseas commitment) could debut as soon as Friday's game against the Sun, according to Roberta Rodrigues of Beta Basket.

Impact Fam's introductory press conference will take place Friday, though there's no guarantee she suits up that same day. Either way, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft is set to debut sooner rather than later.

MAY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Contract temporarily suspended Fam remains overseas, so the Storm temporarily suspended her contract Thursday.

Impact Fam, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, is currently in Spain playing for Valencia Basket during their postseason and will likely miss at least the first few games of her rookie season. If Valencia makes it all the way to the finals and the series goes three games, Fam might not return stateside until the end of May. She also would likely need at least a few days to get back up to speed with the Storm, so Fam's WNBA debut is far from imminent, though the situation remains fluid.
