Undergoes season-ending surgery The Storm announced Friday that Samuelson underwent successful left knee surgery and will miss the remainder of the season.

Impact Seattle's frontcourt takes another hit after losing Ezi Magbegor to a torn ACL on Thursday. Samuelson had a delayed start to the year due ACL surgery recovery, averaging 4.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 15.3 minutes per contest over 32 games this season. The Storm should lean more heavily on Stefanie Dolson, Mackenzie Holmes and Taylor Thierry the rest of the way.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Shooting woes in loss Samuelson provided four points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one steal over 17 minutes during Sunday's 90-74 loss to Los Angeles.

Impact After delivering a well-rounded performance on both ends of the floor in Wednesday's win over Toronto, Samuelson was far less productive Sunday. Still, she logged double-digit minutes for a fifth straight game, and she's averaged 4.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 15.8 minutes per contest over that stretch.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Stuffs stat sheet in win Samuelson amassed eight points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 90-78 win over the Tempo.

Impact Samuelson had a banner night on the defensive end of the floor, tallying season highs in swats and swipes Wednesday. She's averaging 4.5 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 15.3 minutes per contest over 31 games this season.

AUGUST 27 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to 13 minutes Samuelson recorded three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and three rebounds over 13 minutes during Sunday's 92-70 loss to the Wings.

Impact Samuelson continues to receive scraps off the Seattle bench. She currently doesn't have a great path to fantasy appeal while the frontcourt is healthy.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared for action Friday Samuelson (knee) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against Portland.

Impact Samuelson was sidelined for the previous two games due to a right knee issue, though her absence from the injury report suggests she's ready to return Friday. Over her past 10 appearances, the veteran forward has averaged 5.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per contest.

AUGUST 13 • Associated Press

Out again Monday Samuelson (knee) is listed as out for Monday's game versus Chicago.

Impact Samuelson will miss her second consecutive contest Monday, so her next opportunity to suit up will come Friday versus Portland. In the meantime, Jordan Horston, Zia Cooke and Awa Fam should see more action, especially with Flau'jae Johnson (ankle) also ruled out.

AUGUST 11 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Monday Samuelson (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Sky.

Impact Samuelson could miss a second straight game due to a right knee injury. If she is unable to play, Zia Cooke and Jordan Horston could see expanded roles.

Carleton has 24 points and the Fire beat the Storm 100-93

AUGUST 9 • Associated Press

Ruled out for Saturday Samuelson (knee) won't play Saturday in Portland.

Impact Samuelson will hit the sidelines after tweaking her knee during Wednesday's 92-86 loss to the Liberty, and for now, she should be considered questionable for Monday's meeting with the Sky. Zia Cooke and Jordan Horston will likely be asked to pick up the slack in Samuelson's absence.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Saturday Samuelson (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Portland.

Impact Samuelson exited Wednesday's 92-86 loss to the Liberty and didn't return. Now, she is in danger of missing her first game since May. If Samuelson can't suit up Saturday versus the Fire, it could mean more minutes for Zia Cooke and Jordan Horston. Mackenzie Holmes and Taylor Thierry may also get involved after playing sparingly all season.

Impact Samuelson suffered a right knee injury in the third quarter that will keep her sidelined for the remainder of Wednesday's game. The Storm's next game is Saturday against the Fire, and should the veteran forward remain out, Mackenzie Holmes or Taylor Thierry could join the rotation in Samuelson's place.

AUGUST 6 • ROTOWIRE

Matches season high in boards Samuelson produced five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 105-95 loss to the Fever.

Impact Samuelson tied her season high in rebounds in an otherwise pedestrian performance. She's scored in double digits on a lone occasion this year, logging at least 20 minutes just once in her past 12 appearances.

JULY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 12 minutes in loss Samuelson finished Thursday's 89-78 loss to the Dream with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT) in 12 minutes.

Impact Samuelson remains off the fantasy radar for Seattle due to her low workloads. Through 18 games, she's averaging 3.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 15.7 minutes per contest.

Impact Samuelson played a season-low eight minutes during Thursday's defeat, and she didn't have many opportunities to generate production. She's come off the bench in her last three appearances, averaging 1.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 12.7 minutes per game during that time.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Samuelson will come off the bench for Thursday's game versus the Liberty.

Impact Jade Melbourne (foot) is back and starting, so Samuelson will retreat to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Samuelson owns averages of 4.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game.

JUNE 26 • ROTOWIRE

Starting versus Dallas Samuelson will start in Monday's game versus the Wings.

Impact With Jordan Horston (foot) and Jade Melbourne (foot) both sidelined for this contest, Samuelson will enter the starting lineup for the first time this season. The 29-year-old is coming off her best performance of the 2026 campaign in Saturday's 93-73 loss to Phoenix, finishing with seven points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals across a season-high 27 minutes.

JUNE 23 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless in 11 minutes Samuelson posted zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 94-89 loss to the Fire.

Impact Samuelson has played a very minor role for the Storm this season. In 10 appearances, she's averaging a mere 15.0 minutes with 4.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists.

JUNE 18 • ROTOWIRE

Logs season-high 20 minutes Samuelson closed with seven points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 101-91 loss to the Aces.

Impact The season-high 20 minutes were encouraging, given that Samuelson sat out the onset of the year while recovering from knee surgery. Over her first seven appearances, the 28-year-old has averaged 4.1 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 16.9 minutes per game while shooting only 34.5 percent from the floor.
